[@AppalachianRailfan99]

An hour on the Mon, good lord. Awesome footage!!!!!

[@keystonestatesirens]

1:03:58 I captured this same train in Waynesburg at the Porter Street crossing...The door was still open

[@keystonestatesirens]

47:15 I don't know anywhere southbound on the Loveridge Secondary that loaded coal would have gone. There are no offloading stations down south on that track. Unless it was going to unload at Fort Martin power station? I'm not even sure if they offload there or not.

[@keystonestatesirens]

I forgot they are connected to the main line…..
