Said to be the longest stone arch RR bridge in the world. Crosses the Susquehanna River above Harrisburg, PA. Carries freight only. Enjoy these pictures, I hope they due it justice.

Thank you for looking and the added history. Three freight trains crossed in the short time I was on the river bank.

Thank you for your kind remarks. Around Harrisburg, there seems to be lots of paintings of the bridge but not many pics.
