NS from Warrior Ridge to Tyrone

Pittsburgh Line


1874
Spruce Creek
This 1874 photograph shows the west portal of the original Spruce Creek tunnel. Today this view looks quite different, as there is a 2nd tunnel, and the original tunnel has caved in.
c. 1900
Spruce Creek
This postcard photo was taken sometime after 1900, after the 2nd tunnel was built, and the old tunnel was rebuilt. Same angle as previous photo.

Tyrone
Two ex-CR units lead a westbound hopper train near Tyrone.

I think this is 20Q that is passing by Plumber's Crossing on a cold afternoon with a UP SD70M in consist.

Barree
At the Barree road crossing a light power move consisting of three blue SD40-2's which are all currently in helper service screams through.

May 2004
Tyrone
Brand new at the time NS 2600 leads an intermodal around the curve at Tyrone.
March 2005
Tyrone
I wasn't able to shoot the previous train with a CSX SD70MAC, but I was just as happy with this one. Two primer units, a C40-9W and SD70M, lead an intermodal past the old PRR station in Tyrone.
Tyrone
Another primered SD70M leads this intermodal at the same spot.
May 2005
Petersburg
This 67Z tripped the wheel impact detector at MP 198 and was ordered to slow to 30 mph. I was then able to beat it to the Rt 305 overpass.
Petersburg
20K passes just as the tail end of 67Z falls out of sight.
May 2007
Pemberton
This work train is powered by the only Juniata rebuild to get Operation Lifesaver decals. They are eastbound at Pemberton crossing to continue picking up ties.

Color light signals were installed at MP 206 around 2002 and the signal bridge was never removed until today.

Empty tank cars go west toward the Barree straight outside of Petersburg. The SD50 leader is there for cab signals.
April 2011
A pair of brand new SD70ACes is seen at Union Furnace on Conway to Oak Island train 18G.
On a crappy rainy day they ran an ethanol train with some KCS and BNSF power trailing.
