Reply to "A Drive By Conway Yard (high hoods and SW1001), Interstate heritage on intermodal, ACe leads coal"

I grew up near there in Ambridge and after moving away with my adult job, went back periodically to visit my Mom who still lived there.    When my Children were small, I would take them down there for an hour or so to watch trains. 

I never parked on the bridge or drove over it.    I always parked on the street near the bridge and walked over.    There used to be a donut shop 1/4 block away that made it a good spot too.    On one visit during the conrail era, the tower operator, apparently, had placed a printed copy of the train lineup for the day under a rock on the trash barrel that was on the bridge then.

I typically shoot stills, so finding a couple of trains waiting to enter the yard was an opportunity.    However, I have not been there for years now.
