Railway Herald
The Rockville Bridge, at the time of its completion in 1902, was, and still remains, the longest stone masonry arch railroad viaduct in the world. Constructed between 1900 - 1902 by the Pennsylvania Railroad, it has forty-eight 70-foot spans, for a total length of 3,820 feet. The bridge crosses the Susquehanna River about 5 miles north of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Norfolk Southern D9-40CW No. 9178, D9-40C No. 8849 and D8-40CW No. 8455 haul an eastbound double stack intermodal working across the bridge on 30th June 2012.
