Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Bridge, Edited Version, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA, 2010

Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Bridge, Edited Version, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA, 2010
This concrete viaduct is in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and carries a railroad line over the Susquehanna River. Incidentally, this isn't the famous Rockville Bridge where an accident occurred (containers blown off a freight train in a blizzard) the day after I took this. That bridge is considerably north of this one, and stone, in addition to having three fewer arches. It probably isn't visible in this photo. Therefore, this would be the Philadelphia & Reading bridge, built in 1924 named for the railroad that built it, which became the Reading Company later that year, being merged into Conrail in 1976, passing to Norfolk Southern in the Conrail breakup of 1997, meaning that Norfolk Southern are the current operators. Visible behind this bridge in the water are the ruins of some piers from the South Pennsylvania Railroad Bridge, started, but never completed, in 1884.
