The P&WV Hi-Line

[Longview Station]

Prepress is nearing completion as the new Norfolk & Western - Connellsville District pictorial is expected in time for Christmas.

144 pages, black & white (Duotone), 12 inches by 9 inches,
157 pound acid free stock, dustcover showing Temple Tunnel
on the front and exiting the passing siding at the East End of
Gastonville on the rear.

This pictorial covers the era of 1979 through the end of the N&W
operations on the P&WV which is May 1990. This pictorial starts
in Connellsville and works its way West to Pittsburgh Junction
with side trips on the Donora Branch (which sadly is only right of
way scenes) the Clairton, Mifflin and West End Branches.

Allegheny County had some nice images of the early P&WV
from the 1930's that are included. There is about 6 of these
early scenes including a interesting Banksville Branch shot
taken just down the street from my very early childhood.
The Banksville Branch was abandoned in this scene from 1936.

Keep a eye on the temporary web site for updates on when orders
will be taken later this fall.
