Flying over
Title:  Flying over
Description:  The Pennsy had the good sense after WW 1 to design for high traffic, high density railroading, not wanting to get caught off guard should there ever be another time of great demand, and wanting to avoid another situation where the USRA took over operation of the railroads, as in the war. Thus they built a lot of multi track with flyovers, rather than at grade crossings. This proved to be marvelous foresight, as the PRR handled monumental levels of all kinds of trains during WW 2. It also had the added benefit of making them a much more efficient railroad than they would have been otherwise. A pair of SD40-2s is on one of the flyovers coming off Rockville Bridge and into Enola, passing over tracks that will lead to the Middle Division.

Old guard
Title:  Old guard
Description:  No not the SD60I, which was almost new then. The semaphore, which has been in place there since the 20s. It will soon fall, as Conrail will single track the line from Elmira to Waverly later in the year. The train is BUAL, a road freight originating at Frontier Yard in Buffalo, terminating in Allentown after a trip down the ex LV via Towanda and Wilkes Barre, and the Lehigh Gorge. Conrail alternated their approach on this train, as it changed its western origin several times over the years, most often running out of Gang Mills. Today's effort takes 128 cars east, and is about to take the connecting track to reach the ex LV at Sayre.
