Climbing toward the summit through Summit Cut (MP 37) on the Fort Wayne Line. Just west of Homewood Junction. Pa. Jan. 8, 1978.     
Charlie
Here is a small map to give folks some idea where this cut is located. It is MP 37 and to the west by rail at MP 40 is New Galilee, Pa and to the east at MP 20 is Conway Yards, 20 miles west of Pittsburgh.  The mile marker count starts at the station in Pittsburgh. My home until I retired was next to the tracks on the northside at MP 50.1

Lisbon, Ohio station. 1/9/1977, When service to Lisbon was discontinued 10 years later the station was moved and is now the Historical Societies museum. Attempts to save the line fell on deaf ears. There was enough business to support a short line.

1/10/1977. A sad sight for Baldwin fans in East Palestine, Ohio.

I am posting this really lousy photo of the Cambria and Indiana Bi-Centennial hopper car from January of 1978 to prove it was still running and had been interchanged with Conrail at that time. It is on a westbound loaded coal train going over Adams Road just west of East Palestine, Ohio.

In my youth I would occasionally take a few night shots. This one wasn't too bad for a moving train with ASA 64 Kodachrome at the Market Street crossing in East Palestine, Ohio.

Westbound. These helpers have just tied on and are starting to push. East Palestine, Ohio, January, 1979.

Lots of classics in that funeral train.

East bound at North Pleasant Drive, East Palestine, Ohio. January 15, 1978     Charlie

The temperature was a balmy 13° below zero on Sunday, January 16, 1977  and I was only 400 feet from my front door and the relatively warmth of our rented house.  I did not linger but I wanted some photos in the snow. The winter of 76/77 and the following winter were brutal. 

This eastbound was waiting for a crew. Several times the replaced crew elected to stay on the train to Conway rather than chance a ride on the snow and ice covered roads.

During the January blizzard of '78 Conrail kept the helpers moving to keep the tracks open.  Here are a pair running west at East Palestine, Ohio.
