Well used rail in south central PA, strange white stuff everywhere!IMG_5404

You live in PA and you find that white stuff “strange”??? There’s a rodent from Punxetauney who would like to talk to you 😂😂😂

A lot of people would like to have a chat with that rodent along about now. January in March indeed. 5 degrees here in the Beautiful Berkshires this AM.

From the car that pic was taken in the late '60s-early-'70s. One does wonder what the guy is doing up there.

He's passing hand signals being given by another Trainman who is out of sight of the Engine Crew.  That way, movement can be made regardless of curvature or other obstacles to the Engineer or Fireman's ability to see the employee who is controlling the movement.  This has not been done (nor allowed) for years, as radio handsets have made it unnecessary.

Improbable "railroad" bridge:

What is wrong with this pic (taken on the old Western Maryland between Meyersdale and Deal)? That long span couldn't possibly support a train. After abandonment DOT pulled down two bridge spans in order to remove one pier so the highway (see the guard rail?) could be widened. To complete the Great Allegheny Passage Railtrail a new curved span was dropped into place. All it needs to support is bicycles
