Yes it is Rich!
 
I guess the ES-99/SE-98 freights ran with RS3's, geeps and first generation 
 diesels early on??? 
I wonder if the Hookerman scared the boots out of the crew on that  run!!!
 
Had to put that in as were getting close to you know what!!! ;-)

What  a shot!!!! I've got a photo (a B&W print)  taken in 1974 of an  SE-99
heading East  and it's lead unit is at right about where the end  of your
train is. There's a signal box (that's still remains) where the  switch
starts to the old road. This train is making  a run for the  grade leading
to the Delaware River viaduct.  the train is on the  eastbound main, it sure
looks like the westbound main is out as there is  nothing beyond the switch
that diverges off to the old  road.
