QUOTE: Originally posted by seand Im between Pitcairn & greensburg on same line that goes throught /johnstown/gallitzin/horsecurve etc. trains are coming through about every 1/2 hour more or less. traffic drops off alot on sundays though so not nearly as much traffic, though on sunday nights about 11pm they play "catch up" and roll through ALOT of traffic until about 1am. on saturday afternoons you can see alot of helper engines running back eastbound / oddly they run in pairs and often will follow each other by quarter mile or so instead of coupling up ( yesterday I saw at least 3 sets following each other). Speaking of UP engines / the one I see most often has the American flag painted on the side. also strange:this week saw bi-level car tacked on back of am amtrack! (ps:thanx for good info)
QUOTE: Originally posted by dwil89 I know that I hear Westbound crews on the Pittsburgh Line being asked if they have 'high cars' today? by the Dispatcher, which dictates the route through Pittsburgh due to clearance issues...Eastbounders would have the same issue too...
QUOTE: Originally posted by seand thanx againfor infor / railroadradio.net looks great but NS pittsburgh is not rebroadcasting for some reason, but the picture of the Conrail engine for the NS pittsburgh page is about a mile from my house! ( the picture is actually in North Huntingdon / Manor is slightly east). -about my comment about heavy traffic on sunday nights did not pan out last night - traffic was light all night. The majority of trains I see are double stacks.
