PRR Monongahela Division Redstone Branch
Posted by Big Joe 36 on Wednesday, January 31, 2024 3:08 PM

I am looking for information on the PRR Monongahela Division Redstone Branch.

It ran between Brownsville Pa, (Brownsville Junction) to Uniontown Pa. (redstone junction. I grew up in Smock Pa. a small coal mining town along the branch. At one time smock had a railroad station and it was also given the block Letters "FH" Im looking for any pictures related to the branch. I have time schedules, Locomotive rosters and track drawings. I have no info prior to 1939. I know they discontinued passenger service around 1933. It was originally built by the Pennsylvania, Virginia and Charleston Railroad, which was owned by the PRR, add opened in 1882. I have nothing on the P, V & C from 1882 to 1906 on the branch. Any help would be appreciated. The pulled up the rails in 1982, 100 years after they were put down.

Welcome  Big Joe!

Here's a map:

I'll have to take a look through some of my PRRT&HS Keystone Magazines to see if I can find anything.

Here's a 1946 employee timetable with a list of stations and other information:

I also have a PRR-issued book called a C.T. 1000 which lists every industrial siding and the business served. I'll see if I can find anything in there.

[edit]

Here's a page from the May 1, 1945 C.T. 1000:
