The Turtle Creek Industrial Railroad  (TCKR) is an approximately 11 mile shortline southeast of Pittsburgh, running from Trafford to Export.  The TCKR is the former Pennsylvania Railroad (later Conrail) Export branch. When Conrail put the line up for abandonment in 1982, the Turtle Creek Industrial Railroad took over.

The TCKR originates at Trafford PA, its interchange with the Norfolk Southern (former Conrail) railroad. The line follows the Turtle Creek through Murrysville and continues to Export. The railroad serves the Dura-Bond steel plant in Export, which owns the TCKR. A lumberyard in Murrysville is also served by the TCKR.

Dura-Bond Industries also runs a pipe coating plant near Port Vue PA. A TCKR switcher is on the property. The plant is served by the CSX.

	Almost at the end of the line, in Export PA. The TCKR has a little yard here, but it's rare to see any rolling stock. Actually, the real end of the line is some 1½ miles down Old Wm Penn Hwy. A TCKR caboose has been sitting here for years. September 24, 2001.
	The 550 usually stays at the Dura-Bond plant in Export. Here on a picture from early summer 2000.

	The TCKR was a little concerned that almost all my photos were shot in gray and rainy weather. So they sent me a few photos from a nicer day. Photo by TCKR.
