Clairton Branch 4/24/15 9:30 A.M.
25 or so pieces of W&LE track equipment now
staged at the Rt. 51 grade X'ing. Several more Hi-way motor pool
trucks as well. A few piles ofS.H tie plate and pallets of new spikes
are next to the tie-gang-surface equipment.
Our guess, Monday 4/27, the work begins.

Clairton. The vast U.S. Steel storage space next to the
Clairton WLE yard, is now filling with large piles of Coke.

Nice to see the amount of traffic now warrants some track work. At on time, I thought they were gonna pull it up.
