A Weekend on Former B&O and PRR Mainlines of PA and OH

On Saturday, May 14, 2011, John Ryan, Rich and I embarked on a journey to the old B&O in the Mahoning Valley, an adventure that later turned into a chase of K321 bound for Cleveland. The next day, we spent our time on the former PRR around Conway, PA. Also included in this video is a bit of nighttime railfanning of my own in Bedford one night after a school function. Enjoy!

Ive been railfanning the Lowellville and edinburg PA area since I was a kid I like how you caught the NS train on the other side of the river, I can't tell you how many times I've heard a train coming on the old Pennsy and drove over there real quick just to miss the head end and then a train comes on the B&O side and I miss it too!! LOL
