CSX 3137 West Pittsburg

A pair of 4 axle GE's, led by 3137 still in SBD System colors, with train K387 on the old P&LE main at West Pittsburg, PA. CSX had changed the old P&LE main into it's track #2 at New Castle Yard, and would soon single track the "ramp" that can be seen swinging off to the right of the engine. The P&W Sub is the upper track and became part of the B&P system, making the ex P&LE between New Castle and Braddock CSX's only route through the Pittsburgh area. This used to be CP43 (MP43) on the P&LE, but CSX changed the mileposts and this is now at MP54.
