K055 passing the EAS @ Riverdale Park         
Foreign power catch of the day leading K055 west on track 1 down the Capitol Sub. New signals await final implementation. The 3rd track away from the camera is the extension lead to the Junction off to the left. A side bar here: the utility pole on the left once supported a pair of catenaries for the '82 Street Car Line' which ran out to Branchville. A really great uTube video of late operation on this line, including this area can be seen at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpFCFILDOxs I highly recomend it. JD tower which once stood across the tracks in this scene is shown in this video. /DL
