Train 42 Crossing Rockville
Looking upstream from the riverbank behind the aptly named Bridgeview Inn bed and breakfast is the eastbound half of the last pair of daily passenger trains that still grace the ex Pennsy mainline west of Harrisburg that is now known as Norfolk Southern's Pittsburgh Line. Amtrak's eastbound Pennsylvanian, train #42, from the steel city headed to New York is coming through CP MARY at milepost PT110.9 as it steps out off the west shore to cross the wide Susquehanna River.
The Rockville Bridge was constructed between April 1900 and March 1902 by the Pennsylvania Railroad. The bridge has forty-eight 70-foot spans, for a total length of 3,820 feet and is the longest stone masonry arch viaduct in the world.
