Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS Middle Division TodayDate: 05/31/23 17:16 NS Middle Division Today Author: birdman Mw wife and I raifanned on the NS Middle Division today concentrating on the area betweern Tyrone, PA and Altoona, PA.
1. Train 593 - westbound coal empties at Tyrone. 2. An eastbound local freight at Tyrone. 3. A westbound manifest with 9 locomotives in Altoona. Didn't catch the symbol.    Date: 05/31/23 17:18 Re: NS Middle Division Today Author: birdman 4. Helpers on the rear of coal train 594 at Altoona.
5. Amtrak starts up the hill at the old C.P. Slope after making a station stop at Altoona.

I haven't been out that way for over 20 years excepting a couple hours at the Curve maybe 7 years ago. It was just before the prior clearing of trees, which I understand that has recently ocurred again.
Thanks gonut Date: 05/31/23 22:21 Re: NS Middle Division Today Author: SNY1337 Nice pictures,thanks for sharing. It's interesting that NS never rebuilt the pocket track built for helpers to the right in picture #5 between those 2 signals. It was taken out by the big auto rack derailment back in 2014 I believe. The newly built CP Altoona wasn't that old at the time.
