It had 3 NS SD40-2's on the head end, and once it got out of Tyrone, I shot it at a couple of grade crossings....At one point, I had to get up to 60 to catch up and get ahead of it again as it was up to 50 mph heading toward Milesburg and Bellefonte. Dave Williams @ nsaltoonajohnstown@yahoogroups.com <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Would those be the tracks that run through Port Matilda and follow 220 all the way up to Milesburg? <br /> <br />I never really got up to speed on the situation of everything in Centre County, like what trackage is abandoned, who owns what, and so on.
