Splitting the signals at Portage.

SD70 2528 cruises eastbound off the NS Port Road at Otsego Street with NS autorack/freight 36A with a friendly conductor.

Early morning eastbound 36A pops out of the shadows as it starts down "The Slide" from the New Portage Tunnel.

The job of the rear end helpers on 36A has changed from a role of helping it up the 1% grade to helping keep it under control as it descends the 2.27% grade of "the slide"

A fast paced creek flows under the struggling 36A.

A white-faced C40-8W leads 36A up the hill at Ardara.

Today's 36A is the only train I glassed today with a bit of sun, the rest of the day was pure overcast, a 100% opposite of what the weather said it was going to be, sunny.

Brand new SD40E 6319 pushes on the rear of 36A.

Eastbound and Down! One of four Vale Mining ES58ACi's on the headend of 36A continues its journey to Norfolk and eventually Brazil. Thanks to TK for the heads up!

On a beautiful summer morning a heavy eastbound mixed freight has reached the bottom of the east slope of The Alleghenies as it eases by one of the last existing towers on the Pittsburgh Line.

An eastbound mixed frieght starts its way down the east slope on track two toward Altoona, the train can be seen strerched out through Bennington Curve in the distance.

NS 36A is about to enter the tunnel here in Gallitzin with 2 CSX visitors in tow.
