A ghost from the past
Title:  A ghost from the past
Description:  A D&H Belden Hill detour train pulls up the connector from the D&H Penn Division to Conrails Southern Tier Line at Jefferson Jct behind a mix of power that looks deceptively like a vision from the past. The reality is that the patch paint over the former road name has worn off, allowing the prior owners name to bleed through. Nobody was complaining!!
