NJT's Route 206 Bridge in Raritan (NJ): 2004 and 2018

Received via email

One aspect of doing railroad photography I enjoy is taking a photo of a particular location and then trying to photograph that same location years later. When NJT's RVL Bridge was rebuilt back in 2004 I photographed NJT 4208 leading its consist across this bridge on March 20, 2004. Back then there were no trees planted or grass growing as this was all recently landscaped. Fourteen years later I am back close to where that first photo was taken. Mature trees have partially obscured some of the bridge as NJT train 5123 is led across the bridge by NJT 4534. That is the "NJ Transit salutes our Military Members and Veterans" unit leading its consist of bilevels!
