Hello All,
I'm planning a trip to the Brownsvile, PA area in a couple of months and had a few questions about operations. First exactly how busy is Brownsville in terms of train movements? I believe CSX has trackage rights on the NS Loveridge Secondary correct? What would be the breakdown between the two RR's in number of daily trains out of the coal mines to the south?
I was reading a bit of info on Newell and how CSX stages strains out of there. Do the NB/EB coal trains somehow connect to Conellsville or do some turn south at Brownsville on the wye after crossing the river towards Fairmont, WV (or whatever locations are south of there)?
I'd also like to make it up to Shire Oaks as I think that's where NS crews a lot of the coal trains from. It sounds like an overall busy area that's worth exploring.
Thanks in advance.
