Delaware & Hudson RW6  Contributor's Pick!       
The RW6 works its way over Rockville Bridge before turning south towards Enola Yard. This was the "Paper Train" from Rouses Point NY to Potomac Yard, bringing newspaper stock to DC. In order to give competition to Conrail, Delaware and Hudson had been assigned trackage rights to Potomac Yard, Philadelphia, and Oak Island three years earler. They also received thirty locomotives from the Reading and Lehigh Valley. DH 7415 was a Reading GP39-2 when delivered in 1974. It, and sister 7314 (a former Lehigh Valley GP38-2 from 1972) are wearing "Altshul Blue" here.

Dave Curtis General Great photo...great description! By the way; does'nt it look like the train is crossing over from one track to another, and then again to another? In other words, is the bridge in this photo supporting 3 tracks? 8/23/2011 10:24:43 PM
