P&LE Depot at Connellsville98 viewsthe freight station in Connellsville was actually owned by the P&LE, not the P&WV. The lot that it sits on and where the Martins store sits was the location of a small P&LE yard. The WM and P&WV rails never actually touched, the P&WV came off the Youghiogheny River bridge and connected to the P&LE for maybe a 150 yards till they connected with the WM. In front of the P&LE elevated station in your photos is where the P&LE and WM connected at P&LE mile post CP56Y. Courtesy of Aaron.

The Hikey Bikey Bridge114 viewsGoing west, this was the first crossing of the Youghiougheny at Ohiopyle. The original steel girder plate bridge was removed and replaced with this. I suppose it's got it's good points, but I don't think it would hold up very well under a brace of SD-40's...Feb 22, 2008
