Reply to "Midweek Photos 10/9/2019"

Nothing really excellent this week, since I haven't had to chance to go trackside in two months. In another month or so, I should be able to upload some photos from my last day of railfanning this summer (currently stuck on my point-and-shoot in Pittsburgh). That said, I did see a few other interesting things this summer.

This is the headhouse of the former PRR produce terminal in the Strip District of Pittsburgh. Most of the tracks, which ran on the lower deck of the Fort Wayne Bridge into the Strip, were pulled up many moons ago. Much of the terminal's dock space will be torn down for new condos, while presumably the headhouse will be repurposed.

It's not often I got to see the Wheeling, since their daylight runs tended to happen when I was in school or otherwise unable to travel. Hence, capturing this shot a few months ago while sitting in traffic was a treat indeed. SD40-3 3067 (Oxford Leasing, nee-UP) and SD40T-2 8795 (UP, nee-Southern Pacific) are leading a train of LPG tanks over Chartiers Creek and the former PRR (now OHCR) Washington Branch.
