RUMOR is Wick Mooreman is goin to open it for a look thru to the public. BUT the issue is parking and a way to the tower. Walkway bridge to Alto from BOYER Candy parking lot look thru & walk back over... I Doubt It Will Happen.. Alto is not going to be safe to move, it may end up like MO if move...

What do you mean safe? it is as long as you watch yourself (lol). North 8th st is good, Rose Yard Office is good spot to see trains, see the locals working the yard & crew changes there. Brickyard (west of 17th st) is good spot too. Sorry for the late response.. I live 25mins from Altoona.

Trains can also get helpers on or off at ConPit.. Helpers that go to Pittsburgh on westbound trains will return on east bounds (coal trains) to help over the grade at Greensburg, PA. No coal train going east or west can go over the mtns without helpers at both areas. Cresson is where Head-End helper...

NS interchanges there with Lehigh Railway, runs trains north to Ithaca, and whatever GE Railcar gets. Almost a wonder the Ithaca line hasn't gone to Lehigh yet, if the power plant goes to gas all that would be left is the salt mine. FWIW, the line along the lake would be about the best dinner/sceni...

PRR>PC Elmira Branch. Sadly the only sections left of the line south of Elmira after Agnes was a small section of line from Elmira Yard to Chapel Lumber. CR derail 1 time in the 80s & that was the end of that section of the old Elmira Branch.

A friend of mine works for Lehigh. They mainly use NS Freq for the SAYRE TURN. Thats a weekday train in the morning, gets to sayre about 9am. drops off cars and picks up some from the NS H12 Local out of Elmira.

Anyone have some update as to when trains might be moving again through there? NS has a speed restriction still at the area of the derailment, i was there the day it hpnd and weekly... NS has till the end of this month to investigate it. FRA did not due to lack of requirements on their list of thin...

Howdy Yinz/Yall Missy originally from Elmira NY on the NS Southern Tier Main Line. Railroads that once connected to Elmira: PRR, ERIE, LEHIGH VALLEY, DLW. At 1 time DLW had a large yard. Today ERIE>>>ERIE LACKAWANNA line is all thats left. PRR's Elmira Branch is still visible from Watkins Glen, NY t...

There's a FerroMex ES4400 siting in the Elmira yard right now about the Fourth different FerroMex engine or so on the tier. The autos and stacks are good size trains some times solid with a refill for locos right behind the newish Walmart it makes for easy grab shots off filo road. always fun on th...
