11. NS empty train street running 12. Wouldn't be a trip to MGA without finding an MGA caboose! MGA 901 sits in the old MGA Brownsville Yard    Date: 09/19/17 06:12 Re: Some MGA action on Sept 10, 2017 Author: FEC2000 13. MGA close up
14. Found an old MGA air compressor I did not keep track of train symbols this trip, just enjoyed chasing the trains around. I started in W Brownsville and chased the line down to Waynesburg and up the Manor Branch to the Bailey Mine, then back to W Brownsville catching what I could along the way.
