Nice editing on all 3 vol's. For future vol's, try 42C's peak hour reversing operation between Castle Shannon & O'brook Jct. stations. It uses alternate tracks and crossovers with interesting signaling. Also, there's a public park just south of Wash. Jct. station with a close-up view of the SHV/Library line split.

Excellent, thanks for the comment and advice. I know the park you're talking about, I'll check it out next time I'm over there. I'm going to do some on the Overbrook line too in the future.

I too the Beechview line 42S to south hills village I need to take the 47S next time that serves overbrook does the 47S have differnt train cars?

[ssteff13]

No, the same cars run all over the system. The 47 is faster getting from downtown to South Hills Village, but the 42 is a more interesting ride in my opinion.

ues I looked at a map odf the 42S and 47S and the 42S has too many stops but we took it because it was the only train that ran to south hills village at the time the 47S runs more of an express but doesnt run till rush hour
