It sure helped this morning. i live on the ellswoth secondary, the end of the line actual over at mine 84 and i went to see if i could pick up anything from the mon valley (live about 8-10 miles away from the aquatorium in monongahela) and heard a loaded coal train getting permission to move on the line and boy did i get dressed quick and ran out the door down to the mine, it left already but i chased it up to bentleyville (where i used to live) and started to chase it from there all the way down to sheetz where i got some lunch. Thanks for that info ! seriously, you replied just in time!

Glad to help. I have been up and down the Mon and Loverage several times over the last couple of years.

hows the traffic from brownsville to the south? Is it decent? I'd like to head over that way (20 minute drive) to catch some street running and such and maybe pop up on the hill there to the yard.

The trains run pretty regular down both sides of the river. You should be able to find a decent parking spot close to the yard at West Brownsville.
