The infamous "glass waste ballast" up to Lenape Park, I have to assume
Tub Mill Run is the creek to the south of Ford City and the right of
way is to the north of the creek? Google doesn't label creek names,
but it seems to fit my memory of the line (went through Ford City from
Kittanning, *then* up to Lenape Park)
