Unit Coal Trains Cross the Monongahela River

In this throwback video from August of 2021, a pair of unit coal trains come off Norfolk Southern's Loveridge Secondary in Brownsville, PA and crosses the Monongahela River via the former Pennsylvania Railroad West Brownsville Junction Bridge, which at the time of filming was still being protected by Pennsy position light signals!

I love those horns

[@Nurvington]

Love those relic PRR signals. Great video!

[@kenwoodbury1888]

Another good one Matt, thank you. But even better, with all the cold and the snow, this little bit of summer oasis, sure was a welcomed reprieve.

Nice catch of the coal drag. Coal keeps the lights on and also electric car fuel.

[@CentralVirginiaRailProductions]

Nice video Matt! It’s nice to see that there are still some old prr/cr position lights out there!
Edit: I am pretty sure now, the signals are replaced by the common safetran light signal. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

@CentralVirginiaRailProductions Thanks a lot! I had a feeling it was only a matter of time before those PLs got replaced. Shame to hear it finally became a reality.
