Remarks & Notes

A pair of light SD50’s crosses the Schuylkill River Viaduct in the West Falls section of Philadelphia. The stone arch structure was built by Reading Company predecessor Philadelphia & Reading Railroad from 1853-6, and connects the main line to Reading with the West Trenton line. The bridge looming over the viaduct is Roosevelt Boulevard, and PennDOT has lanes closed for heavy maintenance. Farther upriver is the Falls Bridge, a Pratt Truss road bridge that was erected in 1894-5.
