Mile Post 34 Brush Run

Montour Extra 83 East, photographed on July 9, 1979 with our very own "R.J." behind the throttle is making slow progress on the tangent East of Library Junction on a Brookside Turn, just East of Brush Run.

I spent every moment possible photographing the single unit Brookside Turns when they were running in daylight hours those last years, not knowing for certain when that last crew would call. This view, taken from inside the gauge with a 135mm lens illustrates some interesting track profiles on the worn out roadbed.
 
Track speed East of Montour No. 4 was a measly 5 MPH for the entire 14 mile round trip to Brookside. - Gene P. Schaeffer
