Nostalgia & History > Rockville bridge 1974

October of 1974 as we populate the apex of the Rockville bridge, Rockville, PA. An eastbound shows up crossing the bridge Enola bound. Later we locate on the Marysville side of the bridge to catch a westbound. The Green Ford Econoline? One of my early railfan vehicles. We even flew extra flags that day.

This one taken by me in 1955 of L-1 #305 with a dead P-5 being taken to Enola for work from Harrisburg. These transfer jobs from Harrisburg to Enola often brought over electrics that needed work. Many visits to the Rockville bridge in my lifetime.

Nice catch on the eb into Enola off the Buffalo Line there Ed. 2 of 5 U30C's, at least I think that second one is of one of them. Looks like the 6539. Please post more. Ben

Great video Ed, thanks for posting.
