TY so very much. This is my woman's account. I hired with Conrail at 20 in 97 out of Conway. Im from Elk County . Got to the Buffalo Line early 98. Found a 5 yr old Clearfield Bid still up in Renovo. Did my OJT on the Buffalo Line and stuck around till the NS and went to Altoona. I grew up railfanning the BL. Love going back in time. Thanks Again....
And that was the track condition of the NYC operations back in the day. Appears from lack of maintenance (deferred) on the Buffalo line. Still love the click clack of jointed rail tho!
That voice sounds like good old Don Jilson. He took the last coal train up the Pine Creek. That Y where NYC met the PRR is gone, what an historic movement to see. Same with the Jersey Shore yard, it was the wood car shops when it was 1st built.
