The tracks run from the "burg" north to freeport, crosses the allegheny and follows the kiski past blairsville and onto johnstown. East Deer (Creighton) is approx 15 miles north of Pittsburgh on the Allegheny. Luckily the train derailed on the south end of town. The last major train derailment that I remember was in the 60's when a freight train (boxcars). We were headed north towards Tarentum on rt 28 when my father said "look at that hot box" flames were shooting from the journal, we pulled off route 28 onto a side street just as the cars left the track. The tracks used to be double with numerous passing tracks but now its single. Does anyone remember the old steamer that was parked at CEMLINE in Acmetonia? what type was it( near the b&le bridge)
