Date: 11/08/19 13:41 Re: NS Pittsburgh line wreck today? Author: farmer Sounds like one train rear ended another and another plowed into the derailment.

The news is using Georges Station Rd as a landmark, which should be close to the old PT 318 signal bridge if I'm not mistaken. Both tracks completely fouled.

Posted from Android Date: 11/08/19 15:01 Re: NS Pittsburgh line wreck today? Author: SantaFeRuss The Conemaugh Line will be busy. Before long Amtrak should be comming west on the Conemaugh Line between Control Point Conpit west of Johnstown, Penna (Pittsburgh Line) and the north side of Pittsburgh where the Conemaugh reconects to the mainline (Ft Wayne Line). From what I understand no one was hurt in the derailment.
SantaFeRuss Date: 11/08/19 15:24 Re: NS Pittsburgh line wreck today? Author: PRRFan Good thing they (PRR PC& CR NS) didn't tear up the redundant Conemaugh line. They all talked about it, I bet they wish it was still double tracked.

Date: 11/08/19 15:54 Re: NS Pittsburgh line wreck today? Author: Bunny218 Good question. I was under the assumption PTC was already operational on that line?
