Eastern Railroad Discussion > P&LE Gateway Yard picturesDate: 05/26/22 14:55 P&LE Gateway Yard pictures Author: mkancle This section of the P&LE was bypassed and abandoned by CSX decades ago. Now it's nothing but a flat wasteland.
You can barely make out a westbound CSX train on the former B&O main in the third picture.    Date: 05/26/22 14:56 Re: P&LE Gateway Yard pictures Author: mkancle More....

   Date: 05/26/22 15:02 Re: P&LE Gateway Yard pictures Author: mkancle Take care,
Matt    Date: 05/26/22 15:11 Re: P&LE Gateway Yard pictures Author: refarkas Thanks for posting these. Thankfully, I saw it when the P&LE was still in operation.
Bob Date: 05/26/22 15:38 Re: P&LE Gateway Yard pictures Author: TheNavigator Very nice "industrial archaeology" shots.
GK Date: 05/26/22 17:14 Re: P&LE Gateway Yard pictures Author: srman Love that Bald Eagle shot on the old signal!
Date: 05/26/22 18:01 Re: P&LE Gateway Yard pictures Author: CSXperiment that eagle is definitely a government drone
Date: 05/26/22 18:46 Re: P&LE Gateway Yard pictures Author: mkancle Thanks for the positive feedback on the pictures! I wish i could have been around when all of this stuff was first abandoned. I wasn't more than 10 or 12 years old when CSX destroyed hundreds of miles of railroad infrastructure around here in the late 80's/early 90's.
Date: 05/26/22 20:14 Re: P&LE Gateway Yard pictures Author: wabash2800 KInd of looks like an abandoned war zone. This railroad was once very prosperous and a cash cow for it's owners. When you look at Howard Fogg's artwork that the railroad commissioned, this is very sad.

Date: 05/27/22 11:39 Re: P&LE Gateway Yard pictures Author: BCHellman Thanks for the time and effort to document an industrial icon.
In late '86 or early '87, I was passing through on a B&O freight train eastward at night when we passed the recently shuttered P&LE hump. It was ghostly, as the everything seemed in place for the next hump, but the yard was nearly empty. Date: 05/28/22 06:11 Re: P&LE Gateway Yard pictures Author: SOUCF25 These are great. This is classic industrial archaeology photography. Thanks for sharing.
Neil Date: 05/28/22 06:15 Re: P&LE Gateway Yard pictures Author: march_hare There’s a great Howard Fogg painting from the 1960s featuring that tower.
Date: 05/28/22 10:13 Re: P&LE Gateway Yard pictures Author: PRR_4859 Does CSXT still own the property?
Thank you in advance. Date: 05/28/22 12:57 Re: P&LE Gateway Yard pictures Author: SandPatch1 It is sad to see, but glad to see it, wish i had taken more when it was the "Cock of the Walk", (SNL reference,)
