WB Broadway Limited
Title:  WB Broadway Limited
Description:  AMT E Units head west with the evening Broadway Limited. Just starting to get a roll with it.The bridge in the immediate background was a walkway over the tracks to the PA Farm Show complex area, but at the time of photo there was no access on either end. Maclay St Bridge is in the extreme back just barely visible at the base of the tall State Bldg. Mail Trains and Amt would always throttle up here and by the time they reached mp 107 they were s...in and gittin. Lots of smoke and noise. Quite the visual and audio rush.
