Tom Beckett	General	Interesting shot, though it may be closer to Oakland PA, where there was a small yard east of SR tower, which would be out of view ahead of the train. I haven't been there in quite a few years, but it may still be standing, though is long out of service. There wasn't much at Great Bend, which is where the Susquehanna turns north as it flows toward Binghamton.	8/10/2020 5:36:32 AM
