WNYP 432 nb @ McClintock, PA 5-13-2020.
WNYP 432 powers the job out of Meadville to Oil City and this day to Rouseville and Rynd Farm with interchange cars for the Oil Creek and Titusville Railroad. The train is passing the little to unused yard at McClintock (all former PRR), that I am sure back in the day was full of tank cars for refinery row that used to be in the Oil Creek Valley. Refineries lined Route 8 in the valley with companies like Quaker State and Pennzoil. I recall driving Route 8 at night through here in the mid-1980's with all the plants lit up, steam, vapor and interesting odors emitting from the plants.
There is one small "refinery facility" left, and it can be seen in the distance at left, the Sasol North America chemical plant.
Looking at this now, hard to believe this was part of PRR's line from Pittsburgh, PA to Buffalo, NY.
