When was the other Erie mainline that split in Union City to Cambridge Springs (PA) abandoned? The bridge over French Creek shows an elevated bridge crossing the current mainline at Miller's Station.

Does anyone know the date when the Pennsy realigned the "Chautauqua Branch" from "EYE" tower to Lovell, crossing the Erie mainline over that imposing Parker Truss Bridge?

I am trying to solicit interest again in this somewhat forgotten branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad. I enjoy walking parts of the trail through Piffard, Cuylerville and Mt. Morris, however, have seen very little written on this line. I have the 1947 Trains issue that briefly sheds light on the oper...

In addition to the West Shore mural, the West Shore Brewing company is celebrating its 2nd Anniversary with a festival on June 29, 2019. The brewery pays tribute to the West Shore Railroad, with several photos and artifacts in the facility. It is located less than a mile from the mural in Clarence.

Thanks.

The CPL's are being dismantled by local scrap dealers per CSX. We tried contacting the railroad directly for the name of these dealers, however, they would not release their names. If fortunate to find or observe a dealer removing the CPL, you could negotiate a purchase directly and legally. Does an...

I photographed a solid Western Maryland freight, eastbound entering the WM Cumberland station in 1975, shortly after trains on the Connellsville extension ceased. At what point would this train have left the B&O line and re-entered WM trackage past the WM station and into Ridgeley (WV)?

I returned from the DuBois (PA) area and stopped by the Falls Creek tower (FC). The old Pennsy diamond across the mainline has been removed. The tower has been trashed. I am aware of only four towers remaining on the old BR&P/B&O mainline from Butler (PA) to Buffalo (NY). Falls Creek (FC), C...

How did the Pennsylvania Railroad access Connellsville? Are there remains of the line in and around Connellsville? Where did the railroad cross the Youghiogheny River? I believe some of the roadbed can be seen from the old B&O "FM&P" branch?

Are there any maps available or information detailing the Western Maryland and Baltimore & Ohio connection at Bowest Jct.? Did the B&O enter the yards at Bowest off the FM&P? After walking the trail today, this junction is very hard to find.
