CSX, Pittsburgh & Ohio Central, and B&LE 643 "action" in McKees Rocks

Before I went back to college, I took a stab at catching a movement on the POHC, something I had not seen since catching 706 on the Arden line the previous summer. I heard some chatter on the scanner when I drove into the city, but did not see anything, so I drove down to a spot off of Island Ave. to see if I could catch some CSX or POHC coming back from Neville Island. I caught an eastbound manifest (nothing of note), and drove back to the yard to discover that 1711 had arrived back from somewhere (perhaps the Walkers Mill IT) while I was elsewhere. The trip was not entirely in vain; I managed to catch the last OC-painted unit still on the property, and got my first look at B&LE 643 since 2012. If you want to see more videos from this spot, check out Bob Zimmerman's channel (in my subscriptions tab).

Yes, "action" is in air quotes because there was not a lot of trains moving.
