Flying Along the Nittany & Bald Eagle
The Nittany & Bald Eagle Railroad is an interesting case of a shortline. It only runs 3 days a week (MWF) down to Tyrone, but at 40 mph due to a well-maintained ROW of welded rail and good ballast. The extra infrastructure investment is from NS, which runs trackage rights coal trains across the line several times per week.
