If you missed it here are some pictures from the train ride from Harrisburg Station, across the Rockville bridge to the Enola yards as part of the 100 year celebration. The day was rainy and had over cast which did not help taking pictures.  Some of the pictures were shot through the windows so be kind.  All pictures are under copy right and permission must be granted for use.
