If they got it right, we'd be happy and fourteen people would go to see the movie.
How many copies of our train CD's do they sell? ;)
Naw, they gotta put in gunfire and explosions; that IS what ... |

So the eastern end was connected (to the Monessen Southwestern), but didn't cross the bridge? Was it used as a dumper for barge traffic? Quite a spectacular approach, trading distance for height.

FFR, is there a likely time to catch something moving on the east end (ie, Connellsville) of the W&LE? I'm hoping to get out for a look at the bridges and tunnels this summer.
It would be nice t ... |

Thankee, Longview.
I have visited the Speers Bridge sometime in the last 10 years and probably have a picture, but I seemed to recall at least some of the looping track still being in place. So it i ... |

I'm still confused about Speers Viaduct.
On advice here, I got Shaeffer's really wonderful book, which has spectacular shots of the Viaduct. I realize that his photos date from the 80s and that thin ... |

Really looking forward to more exploring of the PWV. I belong to a hunting camp in Greene County, which puts us in a ... |
