A Through 'Train' on the PRR-Low Grade: Lycoming Valley Milwaukee Road rebuilds on the Buffalo & Pittsburgh

Nice video, Dan!  That's pretty country to run a train through!!

I really enjoyed watching that. Thank you for creating it and for sharing it.

I think the sound of that horn are is now permanently burned into my brain cells :-(

Thanks for posting.  That's my old stomping grounds. 

Thanks Dan. Really enjoyed seeing Driftwood. The yellow metal building directly behind you, where you stood for the opening shot, was where I once had a sawmill and produced hundreds of railroad ties. The little Victorian house, that's now a B&B, you may have drove by to get back there, was where I lived. When ever the B&P train was picking up empty coal hoppers from the NS, an engineer named Tony would park the train next to the mill and come in and help us cut ties and pallet lumber. It would take about an hour for his conductor, Rob, to walk the length of the train, usually 130 cars, back to the engines. Rob would then come in and work too for about another hour. My production really went up on those days they came to town. They said they had a lot of built up energy they needed to get rid of from sitting on their butts all day. Lol. One rainy fall night, about 2:00 in the morning, Tony scared the crap out of me banging on my front door. He asked if I could bring some tools to the engines and help them unplug the sand tubes. He said it's an uphill climb to Dubois from Driftwood and the rails were covered with wet leaves, so they would never make it without the sand running. So I said OK, I guess it's time to pay you back for all the help you guys gave me. So after two hours of getting filthy and wet, the sand was running and they were on their way.
