[PRCo] Re: 1984 Grand Tour

[Fred Schneider]

Never was Jerry.    Bill used the Monongahela Railway - Pennsylvania  
Railroad afternoon northbound passenger train to make the connection  
from Brownsville to Roscoe.

I'm looking at a 1945 Official Guide which shows one round trip a  
day ... train 806 southbound in the morning out of Union Station  
(PRR) Pittsburgh at 8:35 AM, Brownsville at 10:45 AM, then onto the  
Monongahela, Morgantown at 12:20 PM and terminating at Fairmount at  
1:10 PM.

The northbound: train 833...left Fairmount at 3 PM, got to Morgantown  
at 3:47, to Brownsville at 5:15, and then onto the Pennsy, and it  
arrived in Pittsburgh at 7:43 PM.

The Pennsy put a 7 in front of the Monongahela train numbers (7806  
southbound and 7833 northbound).   There were three other PRR trains  
running between Pittsburgh and Brownsville on weekdays in 1945 but  
the Monongahela connection was the only afternoon northbound.   The  
PRR showed it out of Brownsville Union Station at 5:25 and into  
Roscoe at 5:44 PM.

Sufficient answer Jerry?
