Hello All:

The PRR mainline from Pittsburgh to Cleveland contained how many main tracks?

Thank You!

Best,

Not sure about this, but I think it was double track.

The C&P branch between Alliance and Cleveland was definitely double track, as was the Ft. Wayne mainline west of Alliance. Don't know about the Pittsburgh-Alliance section, but would guess that it was mostly double track.

Here are a couple of links to sites containing a wealth of PRR-related material, Mr. Brahsear's "dementia wiki", contains scans of steam-era Employee Timetables. (If you have any difficulty interpreting specific information, get back to the forum, and I'm sure someone will be able to help)

Also, here's a link to a mumber of sites recommended by the PRRT&HS:

I'm pretty sure that Amtrak still uses this line on its Capitol Limited run, then switches to the former P&LE.
