Enjoy the fascinating diversity of western Pennsylvanian railroads. There is more to come as my time permits - to begin with some of the smaller railroads. For my "main" web-site, which is mostly about signaling, click  here .

Unfortunately time has not permitted me to keep this site updated, so most of the material is from 1999-2001. Several railroads have changed name since then.
