- Thanks for watching this little clip on the B&P's Petrolia job, BT-3.
The wooden trestle on this line has been replaced since this video was taken in 1989. There are two other wooden trestles on this ex-B&O branch. One north of Chicora was supposedly torched by some arsonist May 10, 2006, shutting down the line. The arsonist has never been caught, even with a $40k reward offered. It took six weeks to replace and cost over 8 million in loses.
Video was taken with a Panasonic VHS Camcorder.
Please be sure to check out my many other classic clips from the 1970's up to today. There is sure to be something for everyone. Thank you, God Bless

Excellent
3:40 Bettendorf trucks in 1989?!?!? 4:40 wow look how rusty the old western Allegheny rails are. 6:00 I remember when that trestle burned. Amazing as always jack.
That was amazing. I noticed that in editing the clip. And that was on a tank car to! I wished I saw that while filming it. I guess the WA had been out of service a while when I was there. Shame. Never did anything on there. Every time I went up, the F's were parked behind the fence. I think I took this photo the same day. www.flickr.com/photos/jackdk/51488324980/in/photolist-2mrR8c3
Excellent video! Thank you for taking the time putting this together and posting it so we have a better understanding of the railroad and coal industries and of the region.
Thank you 1tt. There will be more coming involving the coal industry in SW PA, which is drying up fast.
Fantastic video once again and have a wonderful rest of your evening.(Steve)
Nice to see older power that doesnt need a microchip to work. That you dont need a computer degree to work on. Simple and reliable.
What is the livery on the 3rd loco at 1:40?
It was ex-N&W. BP picked up a good many of them.
