"WATERGAP.jpg" - image/pjpeg, 1149x788 (24bit)

I found this postcard last night. I remember purchasing it in the mid-70s at Willowbrook Mall in Wayne. It had to have been taken in the mid 1950s because there are two tracks on the Slateford Bridge. The new extension of Route 46 on the east side of the river seems to be empty. You can discern Slateford Junction tower in the distance if you enlarge the image. This was from the era of trains #9, #47-49, #44, #46, "The Phoebe Snow", "Scrantonian", "The Twilight", "The Westerner", "The Owl", "New York Mail", "Pocono Express", "Merchants Express", and "The New Yorker".

Who's got the time machine to take me back?
