"Point of Gap"
Title:  "Point of Gap"
Description:  PT-98 passing through the actual "Point of Gap" just a mile from its destination of Slateford Jct. Yard in Delaware, PA. Throughout my childhood, on family vacations West and North, we'd zoom through the Gap on I-80 and I'd always dreamed of seeing a train on the tracks through the Gap on the other side of the river. This was the first one I'd seen--at the ripe old age of 29!!
