Another piece of PRR heavy engineering..from the bridge down to greenwich yard on a huge elevated fill. Cant be more than a few trains a day heading down to Greenwich anymore?

For example, there were three movements in the couple hours I was in the area this evening. (Two train and one lite power move).

There were always iron ore and coal trains pulled by GG1s and P5As during that hour. Gerry
