Landslide on NS, Detours on the NYS&W 9/21

Delays East of Pittsburgh

September 21, 2006

Norfolk Southern has experienced a landslide at
Emsworth, PA, which is between Conway, PA and
Pittsburgh, PA., blocking the mainline tracks.
Traffic moving via this corridor, to and from
locations east of Pittsburgh, will incur delay.
Norfolk Southern personnel are on the scene working to
clear the right of way as soon as possible and restore
the line to service.

One detour each direction is scheduled/planned to operate via
Buffalo-Binghamton- Campbell Hall- Croxton, untilizing the Southern
Tier Line to Binghamton and then between Binghamton and Croxon, via
the NYSW(Central NY RR subsidary)to Campbell Hall and then the NYSW
to Croxton. They may utilize the NJ Transit mainline from Port Jervis
via Campbell hall and Suffern, NY, but this remains to be seen. Plans
are tentative and of course, are subject to change....

This oughta be fun to watch from my perch in Williamsport. To bad im not goin back home for the weekend!

it was a stack train, very lengthy one.

It would be nice if these were semi daily occurences again.
