Lehigh Valley Railroad F-7A #578 @ Cape May N.J. Magnet

From www.railphotoexpress.biz Lehigh Valley Railroad F-7A #578 at Cape May N. J. Built in 1949 by EMD for the C& NW Railroad. The line to Cape May was built by the Tuckahoe and Cape May Railroad, and operated by the Philadelphia and Reading Railway's Atlantic City Railroad and later Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines. At one time, the rail line that both excursions travel on was known as "The Steel Speedway To The Shore". Eventually it became part of Conrail, which ended freight service over the line on September 10, 1983 and sold it to New Jersey Transit as their Cape May Branch. CMSL began operations in January 1984. . This is a great railway to visit to ride vintage equipment with a friendly crew and great scenery !
