Welcome to the NS Cresson, PA/West Slope - CSX Sandpatch stream hosted from the famous Station Inn Bed & Breakfast, Cresson PA.

     

Cresson Enginehouse

 Post Merger SD80MACS & SD40-2 Helpers on the Ready Track at Cresson Enginehouse

         

This stream covers one of the most storied parts of the old Pennsylvania and B&O railroads presently served today by NS and CSX.  The NS Cresson/West Slope sees up to 70-80 train moves per day including helpers.  The stream also features western and central PA shotlines such as R.J. Corman, Buffalo and Pittsburgh, and Conemaugh & Blacklick.  

Specifically: 

  • NS Pittsburgh Line Operations from Allegrippus, PA (MP 244) to South Fork, PA (MP 266)

  • CSX Sandpatch/Keystone Sub. Baltimore BB Desk Operations (Dispatcher Communications Only!)

  • NS Cresson, PA Operations: Cresson Yard and Enginehouse (Helper & SD80MAC servicing)

  • R.J. Corman "Clearfield Coal Cluster" Operations: Former Conrail Cresson & Irvona Secondaries

  • NS South Fork yard operations

  • NS South Fork Secondary Coal Branch: Central City/Windber, PA - South Fork, PA (where SD80MACs Rule!!!)

  • Conemaugh & Blacklick Railroad (C&BL) Operations within the former Johnstown Bethlehem Mills Complex

  • Buffalo and Pittsburgh Operations in the North Central PA region. 

The actual range at any given time may be greater than specified.  Factors depend on weather, the repeater used by the dispatcher, and transmit power of the particular locomotive's radio.
