At the time of this photo, the least-used of the three railroad bridges spanning the Delaware River between Phillipsburg, NJ and Easton, PA was the former Jersey Central crossing. Here an SW9 brings a local across that span, with the former L&HR bridge seen on the left, and the former Lehigh Valley main line on the right. That would change within a few years, when structural issues with the LV bridge would precipitate a relocation of Conrail's Lehigh Line to the CNJ bridge. The bones of the CNJ semaphores are still in place at this late date.
