Railfan trip to PA, OH, IN and MI, 8-9 to 8-20-2021 - 12

Hi, Bill Kalkman and I spent the final day of our trip taking a second crack at the Allegheny Valley Island Avenue Transfer (train AV-6) to NS. We got to the Allegheny Valley yard about 9:00 AM but could not find anyone to talk to nor any way to explore the yard. 

So we found a spot along Blair St. at the west end of Glennwood Yard and waited. Finally, about 10:35 AM the crew began to double its train (above and below),

After the crew pushed back into the yard we went west a few blocks and set up where the train would cross Blair St. (above and below).

While the train made its way to the connection to NS we relocated to a spot behind a Porsche dealer along Liberty Avenue (above and below).

 So ended a really great trip. I hope you enjoyed the posts.

Railfan trip to PA, OH, IN and MI, 8-9 to 8-20-2021

Hi, On August 9, friend Bill Kalkman and I began a 12 day photo safari with the objective shooting a variety of shortlines. Our first stop was the Allegheny Commons Park West in Pittsburgh, PA. A westbound NS train was first up followed by the Allegheny Valley transfer from their Glenwood Yard in Hazelton, PA to the NS Island Avenue Yard. 

We waited for the Allegheny Valley train to return but eventually had to head west. After a stop in Columbus to check out the Camp Chase Railroad we continued on to Richmond, IN, where we would spend the next two nights. The Camp Chase locomotives were being fueled within a fenced enclosure so no photos.

    

Thanks for looking.
