The big picture at Trafford on the NS Pittsburgh Line. Exactly 20 minutes after the Derby Train passes us 18N heads east towards Altoona with a nice rack!
A recently cleared out area makes this on the hillside gives us this newest view of the old PRR

My old stomping grounds! Is that the Mosside bridge (Rt. 48) and Pitcairn in the distance? Things look a little different from 50 years ago. There was a drop off for automobiles in Wall, PA. Looks like those carriers just pulled away from a siding in that general direction.

Thanks for the memories!

I can only imagine what that area looked like in the prr HEydays of the 1940-1950's...even the mid 60's!

Nice shot!

As an alumni of Trafford Middle school, and resident in the area, I know exactly where you're at. Very cool.
