Eastbound merchandise freight CGAL (Corning, Gang Mills, NY to Allentown, PA) rolls under the Pine Street bridge behind Conrail SD40-2s 6489 and 6361 on the/Lehigh Line at Catasauqua, Pennsylvania, USA, 12 August 1982.

Rockville was the best known, but not the only bridge over the Susquehanna at Harrisburg. The line to Hagerstown MD was part Reading Lurgan Branch, and part PRR Hagerstown Branch. This 146 car ENRO, a run through to NS and Roanoke, originated at Enola, did the grand tour of the capital, then went south on this ex Reading line, crossing the ex PRR Rockville Bridge, then back on this ex Reading bridge, reaching it via a connection at CP Capital, where the ex PRR connected with the Reading from Rutherford yard, then out of service.

CR 6489 is on the point of ML-480X at CP in Ridgefield Park, NJ 10/1997

An NS-bound manifest heads through CP-Burn.

CR 6426 in Southern Pacific Yard, Memphis circa Feb. 1980.
