Pennrail Division Map
This page will have feature a
division map of Pennrail, and Division by Division schematics. (A working
draft can be found here)
PENNRAIL essentially
has four operating divisions:
Buffalo
Division – Buffalo, NY to Emporium/Keating
Lock Haven
Division – Lock Haven to Williamsport via Avis/NYC
Bald
Eagle Division – Tyrone to Lock Haven with Bellefonte Branch
Bedford
Division – Altoona to Cumberland via Bedford
Abandoned: Corning
Division – Jersey Shore Jct. to Corning, NY (ex NYC)
PENNRAIL has trackage rights
over PC/Conrail:
· Emporium/Keating – Lock Haven via Driftwood & Renovo
· Williamsport – Harrisburg (Enola) via Northumberland
·
Tyrone
– Altoona/Hollidaysburg
PENNRAIL also has trackage
rights over WM/Chessie:
Cumberland – Hagerstown
Recent digging of old material suggests that Pennrail controlled all the way down to Keating, and
that the rights on PC/Conrail began at Keating, and not Emporium. PSMRRC’s 4th Layout (1985-1997)
represented the Bald Eagle Division and the western half of the Lock Haven
Division, up through Avis. Rob McKeever’s current effort (2005-2007) represents
the Bedford Division from above Hyndman up to Brooke’s Mills.
Below is a system map compiled by Shane Binder in 1999, although it includes the ex-PRR Rochester Branch, which was not in the standard PR Theory. It also greatly inflated the coverage of the UP&E, as that was simply a short-line heading East out of State College, Pa. Even for its flaws, it conveys the general idea of Pennrail well.
