I keep my eyes open for changes which may expose or ruin remnants because
it makes sense to photodocument things when possible

At the east end of the concrete retaining wall along PA 993, just before
the line from Trafford jumped across the valley and the railroad tracks to
the Irwin side, a driveway has been cut through the earthen mount on which
the right of way ran past the east end of that wall. 

Nothing exposed, but I do wonder if the wall, in bad shape for as long as
I can remember, will have more erosion or other problems as a result. I'll
get pictures when I can.

Also, Pennsylvania Avenue in Irwin was being repaved per my wife. I made a
trip out in the hopes that it would be near the corner of Main and
something might be exposed, but it was further east, and nothing was to
be gleaned.

Just random bits...
