<DIV aria-label="Compose body">I still have the flyer from the 5/30/57 B&O
fantrip to the Foxburg switchback. Attached are two scans of the complete
flyer. Note that because of track length limits on the switchback, the
train consisted of only four coaches and the gondola. Also attached is a photo
of a B&O EM-1 taken at New Castle Jct. when the fantrip stopped there.
This photo was taken by Pete Roehm who was a member of PERC in the late 1950's
and early 60's. The Foxburg trip was diesel powered, but the B&O Akron
Division was still operating steam in 1957.</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><BR>Yeah, we rode over it (in open gon) on the May 1957 PERC
trip to North Clarion Jct. via Foxburg. Nice shots of current day
situation.<BR>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I’m amazed that that turntable is still extant.
Phillipston was a point on the planned “low grade” freight cutoff
through East Brady that never was finished. It would have avoided the grades
and congestion west of Altoona (Horseshoe Curve-Gallitzin-Cresson, etc.)
PRR spent so much money on the new station in New York City and its
associated tunnels and such that there was insufficient money left to complete
the cutoff, which had been championed by Samuel Rea. One can only
imagine what might have been had this work been finished.<BR>

<BR>Subject: [PRCo] Not traction<BR>I wandered around north of my place
yesterday. I am sure Dwight recognizes the trestles near Chicora on the old
B&O.The turntable is at Phillipston on the Allegheny Valley Branch of the
PRR.The last views give you a small glimpse of what is to come in a few weeks
at Brady's Bend Overlook.<BR>
