One of my Delmarva Club brethren shot the attached, presumably near Delmar.

The following explanation was provided by another contributor...
"The last shot of the truck on flat car shold be a USAF rocket for NASA. The Bay Coast drops them in a siding, they drive them across to Wallops [Island Space Center]. I have noticed several come across the bay on the car ferry. This is the first I have witnessed moving south on NS."

Interesting load for you modern era folk.

Cool! I saw that thing around Harrisburg TWICE, and was unable to shoot it either time. Came up the Lurgan Branch into Enola on what was probably the 111, then I'm guessing went south on 12G.
