I'm laging behind in post, but my brother and I chased the ME-1 on 11July2008. Started in Meadville to see the rear of the train just leaving the yard from McHenry St. Got ahead of him at Wilson Chute, but the shot didn't turn out good. Same for the shot from Cochranton. The rest of them are below. I learned something new that day listening to the scanner. I always thought that the Rouseville Indust. Track ran both RR and physically the same direction, but they are opposite, which makes sense now that I think about it. Once on the Franklin Secondary it all starts opposite since the main from Meadville east is actual and RR true.

RT 8 Rynd Farm crossing RR SB. Conductor jumping off to toss the derail.
Rynd Farm Interchange with OC&T. I guess 12 cars is all the interchange can hold. The conductor is switching sides to reverse the switch back onto the main after spotting 421 past the CH.
RT 8 Rynd Farm crossing RR NB headed for home.
The trails are nice, but let's save the rails!!!
