The P&WV Hi-Line

I ended up drawing some HO scale blueprints for it. I used my best guestimate and confirmed with a friend, and the I beams look to be 3/8ths in HO scale. If there is any interest, I can send the dr ...

From what I understand, the DS ran towards present day Palmer park, and the dump was close to there. That also begs the question, where was the interchange yard for the PWV and the DS? The employee bo ...

WOAH. I can't wait to see the assorted bridges drawings. Especially the valley Inn one, as well as the other smaller ones the don't get the attention that Mingo Creek, Speers, and Pidgeon Creek get.

People have been seeing ballast cars being taken as Far East as Bruceton, and covered hoppers have been seen (by myself) on the siding at closetmaid in Belle Vernon. The observer reporter reported t ...

I've also been invited to do a talk on the PWV line from Rook to Connelsville next month. I'll be using my Wheeling photos for it.

Thank you. The modern Wheeling is my favorite one to railfan. Plus I do enjoy looking at the construction the PWV undertook to build the hi line.

Hello, my name is Jim Braum, and I wanted to introduce myself on the board. I actually model the decedent of the PWV (Wheeling and Lake Erie railway), in HO scale. My most recent project is a scale ...
