Hello all. This is my first post, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about the Norfolk Southern local between Abrams Yard in King of Prussia and the Mittal Steel plant in Coatesville, PA. I know that the train uses the Dale secondary and joins the Amtrak Keystone line at Glen Loch, but I'm not really sure about the connection between the Keystone line and the steel plant, which I think is Brandywine Valley or East Penn trackage. From what I've seen, the Keystone line flies over the steel plant line on a high stone arch bridge, the same one that crosses the Brandywine Creek.

Thank you for your consideration, and I hope to have many more posts in the future.

after the stone arch bridge, there is a connecting track that goes down a large hill to the bradywine valley area.
