I've mapped this system, but don't have photo coverage comparable to what I
have for West Penn.  It's a tough one to do in one day, especially after
both the vegetation and the daylight go away in the fall, but most of it can
be done.

Let me know when!

Subject: [PRCo] more roamings: Clarksburg, WV



For a similar but not quite the same reason I found myself in Clarksburg,
WV for the second time in less than a week today. I hadn't thought to look
at a trackage map first but without even looking hard or spending time I
found:
-the terminal/office building. I think one of you mentioned it here before
-where the right of way for the line which connected to the Weston
interurban split off Milford Avenue in the southwestern part of
Clarksburg. It was very obvious what I was looking at, despite not being
looking for it.

I don't suppose any of you have gone out fishing for remnants of this
corporate sibling of the West Penn? It actually seems like it might be an
interesting expedition and I'll probably go back some time in September
(or maybe later but that's about the earliest I can) and look around some
more.

Again, why I was there is off-topic and I'll be happy to amuse you
elsewhere if you care, but there's no point in posting it here.
