The westbound National Limited is passing under the old Marietta Pike bridge, on its way to Harrisburg for an engine change to diesels. The 1912-built bridge has recently been replaced, but the station platforms are still in similar condition, with only the addition of some plastic bus-stop style weather shelters. The 928 was the 2nd newest GG-1, having been built in April, 1943 by Altoona/Westinghouse as the PRR No. 4937.
