“Breakfast Without Orange Juice…” Doing its part to ensure an adequate supply of sunshine for the following week, Conrail’s OJT (Tropicana orange juice train) charges across the Susquehanna River eastbound at mp 57.2 of CSX’s Philadelphia Subdivision. The power, as is typical, is three SD40-2s: CR6469, CR 6497, CR 6523.
OJT operated as R250 on the RF&P, and, after being bumped from the NEC, as Z414 on CSX between Potomac Yard and Philadelphia.
B&O’s double track bridge over the Susquehanna, opened in 1910, replaced the original (1886) single track structure on the same alignment.
