Haven't seen a trackside photo at Coatesville in many, many years.  I can remember, as a kid, when this area seemed to be four track territory!

I'll bet it more than 'seemed' to be, based on the empty RoW for the two middle tracks. ;)

Is H84 a daily early afternoon westbound at Coatesville? How far west does it go?

The mixed frieght gets interchanged with the ESPN in coats ville. Also some gets swapped with a local out of dillerville yard. Usually that happens at thorndale. I have seen the steel loads and mixed freight in two separate locals on some days. Has to do with with the reverse traçk length and the grades.

Still 3 tracks from west end of old Thondale yard east to Glenloch (Glen).  The track next to the eastbound from Thorn to Glen is usually only used by H84 returning to Abrams.

Still 3 tracks at Exton.  Looking east towards Glen recently.
