Vincent, you are right about the Bessemer. They have a small yard right here in Butler Pennsylvania where they interchange with the Buffalo and Pittsburgh. There is also some traffic headed to and from AK Steel, so I hear lots of train action high up on my hill. There was a lot more train action back when the Pullman Standard manufacturing factory was open. They made thousands of PS2 covered hoppers here and one in Milwaukee bright yellow sits in the middle of the Pullman business park that has taken it's place. The build date on the restored Milwaukee is 6-74, one month after I graduated from high school.
