    Great picture! That was exactly what came to my mind, E60 and all. Thanks.

    This appears to be a swing bridge? Same one as pictured in an earlier post? Open in this photo?

    Wow, such neat stuff! When I saw your Bush Terminal drawings, I wondered if owner Irving Bush also created the heralded Bush Train Shed, as found on the DL&W at Hoboken and numerous major terminals elsewhere. But alas, the Bush train shed was invented by Lincoln Bush and the two men weren't related.
