We are at Trafford Pennsylvania. The rail location is CP TRAF on the Conrail's rollercoaster Pittsburgh mainline. Eastbounds have grades and sags all the Cresson before they drop down the mountain to Altoona. Heavy trains require helpers in both directions.
At this location, the eastbounds are going at it to get a run for the many hard pulls ahead of them, while the westbounds are in dynamic braking.
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoyed this clip on Conrail's Pittsburgh mainline at CP TRAF, Trafford, Pennsylvania.
I have TONS of material over the years on the Pittsburgh Division from Pittsburgh to Harrisburg.

FANTASTIC Jack! I grew up very close to here, and when I got my drivers license in 93 i probably spent more time at cp traff than at home. Coal was king back then, and about every other train was a coal train (back before they utilized the conemaugh line). That eb with the two tofc flats up front was very strange. As were the GE helpers. Great footage. Happen to have any footage of the old TCKR?

Thank you. Traf was a neat place. But things have changed there as well. My wife and I got tossed out of there a while back. The guy wasn't very happy, or friendly. LOL I always struck out on the Turtle Creek. Sorry to say. Thanks for watching, and glad you enjoyed it.

CP Traff has changed quite a bit since you recorded all of this Jack. It was nice to see what remaining Pennsy signals were still there before Conrail I assume replaced them with the type G signals. I wonder how many of those 89' flat cars are still in use now that well cars and spine cars are the primary use for intermodal trains. By any chance, do you have any footage of what Pitcairn Yard looked like before it got turned into an Intermodal Facility for the Pittsburgh area?
