Swing Bridge Action |
| Description: |
Just your average train on a bridge. Wrong! This is a human-powered swing bridge. Thats right- it takes two strong guys cranking a large gear for a couple minutes to move this massive structure into place. With the Atlantic ocean only two miles away, this short eastbound tanker train is running out of rail as it nears the last customer on the line.

DCLR 4054 |
| Description: |
DCLR 4054 was originally built for Conrail in 1978. Its gray and yellow paint isnt as regal as its original blue but it still looks crisp and cool in my opinion. |

Two Relics |
| Description: |
Two relics of times past. A forlorn and splintered old dock in the foreground. A hand-cranked swing bridge behind. And one of them is still alive and kicking! The DCLR run to Lewes returns west with empty tankers and a caboose. (Check out a time-lapse of the bridge being manually opened here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIvZ9_0q9xs) |

Leaving Lewes Behind |
| Description: |
A 35 year-old locomotive commanding a caboose and three tanker cars. It is short-line railroading at its finest, baby! Long hood forward and rumbling powerfully, this DCLR train leaves Lewes behind. |

Caboose watches the action |
| Description: |
Gettysburg Railway caboose #101 stands sentinel in the midday heat as a NS local rolls south along the Indian River Secondary. In a minute the 15-car train will be gone, leaving only the quiet buzz of a small town at work. |
