After roughly one-half century of occupying an old East Broad Top rail yard in Mount Union, a collection of box cars and coal hoppers are clearing out.
Workers with Valenti Excavating Inc., of Clymer, Indiana County, launched into their task last week in the area off Franklin Street behind Rite-Aid and McDonald’s, beginning with the demolition of a group of wooden boxcars.
[A Valenti Excavating Employee] says there are approximately 150 railroad cars, stacked five tracks deep, that his crew will be moving and dismantling. The vast majority are solid steel coal hoppers and about dozen or so are wooden U.S. Army Transportation Corps box cars.
