Just read an on line headline in the Pgh Post Gazette that Norfolk Southern is going to develop a second double stack route through the 'Burgh. I don't subscribe so can't read the article and printed versions are getting harder to find so maybe someone could tell where it is. The Conemaugh line ?? Will be interesting and more photo fodder for the railfan group. Too bad I am moving.

The P-G can be a pain. Anyway,there are plans to raise some bridges and lower the track bed in Swissvale,Braddock, and Pittsburgh.
These project will supposedly give another route while taking pressure off of the line that runs along the South Side. (landslides)

Yes, tell me about the PG !! Thanks for the info, so it is not another really second route. I am not too anxious to railfan in the Braddock area(and a lot of others). I can see why NS wants to get away from that line along the river. In a PRR book I have there is a photo of a K4 laying on its side on Carson St. after hitting a boulder along that hillside.
