View of the bridge
Title:  View of the bridge
Description:  The Erie built several great steel bridges, among them, Kinzua Viaduct in PA, Portage Bridge, one of two bridges on two lines over the Genesee, and the only one over that river still in service; Belfast, the other Genesee River crossing, abandoned after Conrail took over the EL, and dismantled by 1984; and this one, 3200 foot long Moodna Viaduct, which sees commuter trains on a daily basis. This is what it looks like through a very dirty RDC front window. Its a long way across there, and a long way down!!

Not your average EL meet.
Title:  Not your average EL meet.
Description:  RDCs were never part of the EL world-the ones here came from PRSL-so to see then meeting a train of the usual EL equipment here at Suffern, is, well, unusual. Otherwise the shot is classic EL, four track main, station house on the left next to the eastbound platform. Just need a PO Ordinary rolling down the inside track toward Croxton behind a mix of GP 7's and RS 3's.
