These days, even from the train it's hard to see, but the whole thing was in at least one edition of Armstrong's Track Planning for Realistic Operation because of the way the various tracks fly over one another or tunnel underneath others to make the junction there that goes down to Enola Yard on the west side or crosses the bridge to the east side. Wow, is it hard to find a decent picture of what I'm talking about - plenty of PRR/PC/Contrail track charts of the area but an actual picture?
