![]() | Union Railroad #8 at Camp Hill in McKeesport The Union Railroads SW1500 #8 doesn't see much travel. Even before the Riverton Bridge had its rails removed to become a pedestrian/bike bridge, this unit could often be found at the Camp Hill works in mckeesport, PA. It became a permanent resident at the plant when the bridge closed. Here, #8 is seen doing its routine job of moving cars around at Camp Hill. Video was filmed on January 16, 2009. The camera's poor focus was due to the extremely bright sun keeping me from seeing the screen on ... |
![]() | Union RailRoad MP15's After racing to get to the tunnel, we figured it had beaten us. After about 35 minutes of waiting, a red light lite up meaning something was coming. 5 minutes later, it was URR 15, 16, 14 IN Yellow Safety paint, 10, and finally URR 18. © Copyright MPL™ |
![]() | The Union Railroad at its Best A perfect showcase of typical Union Railroad operations. Andye219 and I came down since we heard a loaded coke train coming from Clairton (and monlineproductions called him as well). While we didn't arrive at the Richland Ave. bridge in Dravosburg, PA in time to film the engines passing underneath (you see them for a brief second in this video later on), andye219 saw the blinking yellow signal which meant the slab train was due any minute. We got on the bridge just in time to catch mp15dcs ... |

![]() | Union Railroad Coke Passing Through Dravosburg By far the most impressive move on the Union is the coke train that runs from Clairton to the Edgar Thomson works. This up close and personal view in Dravosburg, PA is close to the midway point, give or take a few miles. Here, mp15s #28, #30, #10, #11, and #14 enter the Dravosburg tunnel with their long, heavy load. Almost as proof that the Union is not entirely against railfanning, the engineer was nice enough to blow the horn at me. :) Filmed on February 26th, 2009. This location is where ... |

![]() | Union Railroad at Night When andye219 and I came to the Dravosburg end of the Union Railroad's tunnel at 3:45 on December 23, 2008, we hoped to be able to film a slab train bound for the nearby Irvin Works. Dusk fell quickly, and after almost two hours and not a single train, we were about to leave when our patience was finally rewarded. Two mp15dcs, #31 and #19, came past with a caboose in the opposite direction. Hopefully, the next time I go to film on this line, it won't take as long for a train to come. As for ... |
![]() | Union Railroad Light Move Outside Irvin After dropping off a slab train at US Steel's rolling mill at Irvin, PA, the engines that pulled it there often come back afterward. Today was no different. After mp15dcs #22, 31, and 32 brought a slab train (passing a coke train as seen in another of my videos), andye219 and I waited for it to return. Here, the engines, along with the caboose from the train, leave the Irvin yard and pass under the Richland Ave. and Sandy Lake bridges in Dravosburg. This is essentially a better quality ... |
![]() | BAD QUALITY: Union Railroad Surprise Light Move Early in 2008 (heck, given what else was in the memory card it may have been 2007), andye219, his little brother and I went down to the URR to watch some traffic going by. On that day, one of the usual slab trains, this time headed by mp15dcs 26, 31, and 17, passed, and on andye219's profile, you can watch a video of that train. We'd stayed behind to watch more engines (can't remember which) come by in a light move, and I was just about to cross the tracks again when, to my surprise, the ... |
