A shot of the very last Reading RDC run taken from XC Tower. The Wall Street has just come off the ex-Lehigh Valley mainline line and onto the former CNJ mainline in Cranford. The B&O line to Staten Island cuts off to the right just behinf the RDC's. You can see the former B&O freight station just above the middle of the second RDC. Back then, if a towerman saw you taking picutres of the trains he would invite you up for a visit. And with the setting sun, a couple of classic name trains from the glory days of railroads became history. |
