Interchange |
| Description: |
Everett puts two men on the head end, and has a chaser vehicle with an extra brakeman to facilitate the switching en-route. With the Great Divide of the Alleghenies behind them, and high clouds overhead, the turn comes east through Hollidaysburg with the previous day's interchange from NS. |

Arranging the Train |
| Description: |
At the west end of the former PRR Hollidaysburg Shop and Yard complex, the crew picks up two covered hoppers from a storage track, and reorganizes their train for the run down to Martinsburg. Wind turbines spin in the distant background along Old U.S. 22, just above 'Muleshoe Curve' on the original Allegheny Portage RR. |

The Old Conrail Ballast Supply |

The line comes up a significant grade from East Freedom to Roaring Spring, the location of the rock loadout that supplied Conrail with ballast for years.
