[TN][T-227] Conrail, Coal Trains & Coal Porters in Northeastern PA | Trains 21
Channel: Trains21
Date: 07/12/2020

2016 was the year of the coal train resurgence in Northeastern PA. After a 5-year hiatus thanks to what I believe to be the takeover of Canadian Pacific by Hunter Harrison in 2012, the black diamonds (though bituminous) were making regular appearances in, out and through the area.

Train 532 was a Shire Oaks, PA - to - Bow, NY unit coal train that ran the Sunbury Line for most of 2016. Unfortunately, because of numerous stalled trains and separations on the 10-mile grade to Clarks Summit, the good times ended late the same year with the remaining trains diverted back to the Southern Tier route.
