I am looking for some information on logging railroads in Pennsylvania, so I can base the logging railroad on my model train layout on one, or multiple of them. Thanks in advance.

I recommend the book "Rails in the North Woods." It is nominally about logging railroads in the Adirondacks but there is also some material about operations that began in Pennsylvania but migrated elsewhere.

Looks like there are a few copies at reasonable prices online.

The Cambria & Indiana Railroad was originally a logging road, if that helps.

The Buffalo and Susquehanna started as a smaller railroad to transport logs and bark.

A quick Amazon search yielded a number of promising results.
