Anyone familiar with this line? I'm trying to tie a couple loose ends on this sucker, maybe someone can help.
1.) When was the line last used? (By anyone, I know it was abandoned in '51) One website said that Norfolk Southern was using a portion of the line to Latrobe Steel, but that one, I swear, is impossible, because when I walked a portion of that line, it was disgustingly trashed. Nothing could be able to use that thing. If someone gets the money, it could be fixed quite easily and used for storage or something...
2.) Any rails or ROW visible in Ligonier and east of Lig? I was able to follow the ROW (the rails are still in place for most, i think) to 217. After that, they don't exist because 30 runs over them. But, past the Gorge section, any existance at all?
3.) What were all of the stations on the line? I know there was one for Latrobe (now DiSalvo's Restaraunt), Darlington (in Idlewild) and Ligonier (now the Game Commission office). But, were there any more?
4.) PW&S. (Pittsburgh, Westmoreland, and Somerset RR) Did it connect with the Lig at Ligonier station? If not, where?????
Any help is appreciated.
Thanx in advance,
Alix
