Photo of Amtrak Three Rivers on the Rockville Bridge crossing the Susquehanna River
Amtrak Three Rivers on the Rockville Bridge crossing the Susquehanna River

On a summer's evening in 1999, a pair of F40s hauls Amtrak's mail and express laden #41 Three Rivers west across the Rockville Bridge at Marysville PA. Despite its name suggesting Pittsburgh is the terminus, this train's 17 cars (including four Roadrailers on the marker) are bound for Chicago. This service continued until March 2005 when its USPS mail contract was cancelled. Hopefully the fisherman is sitting on a rock in this shallow part of the Susquehanna!

That's one impressive Viaduct. I hope that fisherman is not Photoshopped.
