That pretty much covers the Baltimore waterfront on the Baltimore to Connellsville & West Mega Route. Only about 1000 more miles of track to cover. :hehe:

PRR #4548, out of Uniontown bound for Greensburg and points north with iron ore, coal, and manufactured goods, pauses to add a short string of coal hoppers at the Fayette Mine just south of Dunbar.

The #4548 doghouse Brakeman enjoys company coffee while rumbling though Dunbar, past the PRR-B&O Dunbar Interchange, the B&O-WM's Bowest Interchange, WM's Bowest Yard, and begins the 1.5% grade down into the Youghiogheny River valley.

PRR's #4548 passes under the WM mainline and past the PRR-WM Greenwood Interchange at the bottom of the grade. On her left is WM's Greenwood Yard and on her right is the massive B&O Connellsville Yard across the river. She passes through PRR's Connellsville wyw where the line from Leisenring joins, enters Connellsville, and crosses the Youghiogheny River and the B&O mainline.

After winding through Connellsville, and passing the small PRR Connellsville Yard, and the PRR-B&O Connellsville Interchange #4548 begins to accelerate up the 1% grade out of the valley passing the Scottdale Power Station on her way off the map.

This is the westmost PRR segment on the Baltimore to Connellsville & West Mega Route and, although it is only about 10 miles long, there are a lot of possibilities for fun.

:wave:

Edit: You would think that I couldn't miss anything in a ten mile stretch but, sure enough, I missed mentioning the PRR-P&WV Interchange between Connellsville and the Scottdale Power Station.

Edit again: I should mention that the Leisenring branch is 2 miles long and features a 1.5% grade, a large coal mine, and a PRR-P&LE Interchange.

Spring has started down in Winchester KY. as the Railfan has caught a PRR decapod coming through with a string of empties in tow. In the last picture lucky for the passengers of Winchesters skytrain then have installed new electrical air conditioning in all of the new coaches.

Oh! Nice! That Skytrain is so cool, trainz never ceases to amaze me.

The skytrain is the "Wuppertaler Schwebebahn", created by Wuppertaler56. It's available at the DLS.
