Nostalgia & History > Warren PA old PRR station and Allegheny River bridgeDate: 08/31/14 12:46 Warren PA old PRR station and Allegheny River bridge Author: airman1 The view is railroad WB on the old Philadelphia and Erie Branch of the PRR. The bridge that's shown in the foreground crosses the Allegheny River on Warren's west end.

Nice show through the bridge. Roger Beckett Date: 08/31/14 18:32 Re: Warren PA old PRR station and Allegheny River bridg Author: airman1 I'm "guesstimating" that the station was torn down in the early to mid 1990's. The bridge is still there, of course. As you probably know, this is now part of the Genesee and Wyoming operation....used to be, I believe, the Allegheny and Eastern and now known as the Buffalo & Pittsburgh.
United Refining continues to be a substantial customer on this line shipping gasoline, fuel oil/diesel, and propane. United used to ship asphalt to GAF in Erie, but that plant has closed. It's entirely possible that URCO has picked up new customers for asphalt...I don't know. Some of you may be wondering about tank car crude oil shipments to United. I don't think that's happening. United has a pipeline connection that enables Canadian (Alberta) crude to be pumped into the plant.

Thanks for the photo.
