Canadian Color on a Cloudy Day
Title:  Canadian Color on a Cloudy Day
Description:  A drab spring morning on Easter Sunday was briefly illuminated with the bright colors of a Canadian National visitor arriving at CSXs South Kearny yard. The train is crossing the Hackensack River at the PRR-built Hack Bridge between Jersey City and South Kearny. Its sister bridge of the same name dominates the background and is today owned and operated by the PATH. During the PRR years both of these bridges were controlled by the same operator.
