Material: Abstract: The collection consists of digital scans of photographs of bridges on the Philadelphia Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, which ran from Philadelphia to Harrisburg. ^ Return to Table of Contents Biographical Note Steve Agostini is a former employee of Conrail and webmaster for the Pennsylvania Railroad Technical and Historical Society. The Main Line of the Pennsylvania Railroad was a rail line in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania, connecting Philadelphia with Pittsburgh via Harrisburg. It is still an important cross-state corridor, composed of Amtrak's Philadelphia to Harrisburg Main Line, SEPTA's Paoli/Thorndale Line and the Norfolk Southern Railway's Pittsburgh Line. ^ Return to Table of Contents Scope and Content The collection consists of photographs of thirty-nine bridges on the Philadelphia Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, which ran from Philadelphia to Harrisburg. The photographs were taken by or for the company as a form of property documentation. Most of the bridges have now been replaced by newer - Page 3- Philadelphia Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, Main Line bridge photographs2012.237 structures. The photographs show the Main Line suburbs before they were built up when the roads and streets were much more rudimentary. ^ Return to Table of Contents Administrative Information Publication Statement Audiovisual Collections PO Box 3630 Wilmington, Delaware 19807 [email protected] URL: http://www.hagley.org/library Location of Originals Steve Agostini owns the original photographs.

  • Project Purpose and Need Statement June 2019
    Norfolk Southern Railway Company Pittsburgh Vertical Clearance Projects Project Purpose and Need Statement June 2019 INTRODUCTION: These proposed projects are railway improvement projects on the Pittsburgh and Fort Wayne Rail Lines (together referred to as the Pittsburgh Line), owned and operated by Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NSR). The proposed projects consist of addressing freight capacity and delay constraints through the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The Pittsburgh Line serves rail freight traffic in interstate commerce and operates as a primary link through Pittsburgh between Chicago and the New York/New Jersey commercial markets. NSR is a common carrier and the Pittsburgh Line forms a critical component of NSR’s route between Chicago and the east coast, carrying a variety of commodities, both hazardous material such as chlorine, anhydrous ammonia, hydrogen fluoride, crude oil, and ethanol, as well as nonhazardous materials like coal, auto parts and finished vehicles, lumber, agricultural products, and intermodal containers and trailers. The six overhead clearance projects [North Avenue Bridge, Pittsburgh (PC-1.60); Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge, Pittsburgh (PC-1.82); Columbus Avenue Bridge, Pittsburgh (PC-2.17); Ohio Connecting (OC) Bridge Flyover, Pittsburgh (PC-3.38); Washington Avenue Bridge, Swissvale (PT-344.91); and Amtrak Station Canopy (PT-353.20)] have vertical obstructions along the Pittsburgh Line and prevent efficient movement of freight, especially time-sensitive intermodal freight, by rail between Chicago and New York/New Jersey, and specifically through Pennsylvania. Unused capacity exists on the Pittsburgh Line and these clearance projects will allow the line to accommodate anticipated freight growth while allowing for double-stack intermodal freight to use the Pittsburgh Line in lieu of the Mon Line.

  • Byron White's Rookie Season
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 6 (1996) BYRON WHITE'S ROOKIE SEASON By John Hogrogian Nineteen thirty-eight was a good year for Byron White. On New Year's Day, the 20-year-old senior led the unbeaten Buffaloes of the University of Colorado into the second annual Cotton Bowl game in Dallas. The Owls of Rice University beat Colorado 28-14 before about 37,000 fans. In a strong effort for the losers, White threw one touchdown pass and ran 53 yards with an interception for the other Colorado touchdown. The Cotton Bowl capped a superb season for White. Every major selector had picked him for the All- American backfield. The powerful 185-pound tailback was the star runner, passer and kicker in the Colorado single-wing offense, and he also excelled in the defensive secondary. Although Clint Frank of Yale won the Heisman Trophy, "Whizzer" White was the most acclaimed college football player of the 1937 season. With football over, Byron White took to the basketball floor for Colorado. The Buffaloes compiled a 10-2 conference record and were invited to compete in the first annual National Invitational Tournament in the Madison Square Garden in March. The Buffs would play NYU in the semi-final round on March 14, then, if successful, would play for the championship on March 16. The New York Times described Colorado as "a high-scoring outfit built around Jim (Swisher) Schwartz, a great shotmaker, and Byron (Whizzer) White, the All-American football back." Schwartz averaged an outstanding 17.7 points per game.

  • Project Purpose and Need Statements August 2018
    Norfolk Southern Railway Company Pittsburgh Vertical Clearance Projects Project Purpose and Need Statements August 2018 Purpose and Need Summary: The principal purpose of the Pittsburgh Vertical Clearance projects is to enhance the existing rail infrastructure on the main line through Pittsburgh and in southwest Pennsylvania in order to provide more efficient movement of freight from New York/New Jersey to Chicago and specifically through Pennsylvania. Federal and state freight rail transportation studies predict a substantial increase in freight and intermodal demand through 2045. To accommodate the increase in rail demand, as well as support national goals relating to greenhouse gas emissions and fuel efficiency, the national freight rail system has been substantially modernized over the past decades to raise clearances, upgrade tunnels and modify rail lines throughout most of America’s 140,000-mile freight rail network to accommodate double-stacked intermodal trains. https://www.aar.org/article/6-milestones-intermodal-growth/. Rail service through Pittsburgh, especially as related to the service of sensitive intermodal freight, is currently constrained by the capacity and external disruptions on the Monongahela line (the Mon Line) and the clearance limitations on the Pittsburgh Line. The primary purposes of these clearance projects are to provide elevation clearances along Norfolk Southern Railway Company (NSR)’s Pittsburgh Line and Fort Wayne Line to facilitate a safe and reliable system of transportation and modernize the Pittsburgh Line and Fort Wayne Line to accommodate integration of modes of transportation (intermodal), and improve clearance, safety, transportation optimization, and efficiency to meet modern interstate freight rail traffic requirements, including double-stack intermodal trains.
