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 that the WLE received a PA rail grant to do 11 miles of CWR in Washington and Westmoreland county.
Just passing along what I've observed. |

WLE does indeed have plans for CWR MP.39.9
(Pierce(Clairton Branch) to 20.3 (Monessen).
These ROW work plans, as we understand it, is under way.
If future WLE traffic stay the same,
and additional interchange traffic with CSX
continues to grow/increase, we may also see
CWR and other ROW up-grades east... Monessen
to C'ville. CSX Yard. (phase II East-End-Upgrades).
WLE would very much like to have all 131 miles of
the ex. P&WV main Lines laid with CWR. |
