CSX 1945 JA
Little U18-B 1945 in SCL colors heads up the switchback to Koppel Steel in Koppel, PA on December 29, 1992. I saw the P&LE local to Koppel many times in Beaver Falls but never went up to get pics of it from the Koppel Bridge, to my shame. This was actually the only time I got the local going up to Koppel Steel. There are a few "yard" tracks at JA, out of view just around the curve, where the local has left the train. It will bring down cars from the steel mill before taking cars up. This local is actually a Three Rivers Railway train, the short lived subsidiary that CSX created when it got the P&LE. I did shoot the mainline trains of both P&LE and CSX from the bridge here, if that is any consolation.
