Cumb and Cumber

One of western Pennsylvania's hidden gems: the Cumberland Mine Railroad. CMYX #1 has just arrived Alicia after returning from the mine with coal loads. Starting out in the 1970s as a US Steel operation, the railroad transported coal from nearby mines to a transload facility along the Monongahela, which shipped it north towards the Mon Valley mills; #1 was originally delivered to the railroad with US Steel reporting marks and livery. Much like the BM&LP and Deseret out west, this railroad is completely isolated from the US railroad network.
