A few CVRR pictures and some other related pictures....

Lots of them in Franklin Co. going back a lot of years,

TVRR scrap train at Spruce Hill pulling up the rails and shutting down the railroad forever.

Wow. Super interesting. Thanks for that. I never imagined such an activity, esp. by a RR itself.

That looks like a pretty steep hill for the train to climb.

Had to be a hard couple of days tearing up the rails of the RR where you worked.....for the scrap value.

I imagine route planning is important in such a task, lest one find oneself without a track to get home on...

Well, it was single track...... I guess that they started at the far end and worked back to Port Royal since that would have connected up to the PRR there and would have been the only real destination for liquidating the scrap and the rest of the RR.

The RR was supposed to continue down the valley and connect up to the CVRR in Richmond Furnace, and there was a plan to also connect to the East Broad Top.

Very little of the TVRR remains in any form.....

There is a mention of the planned connection in the current issue of Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazette in an article on the history of the EBT.

This may be my favorite thread on MTJ.

On the TVRR in East Waterford....if I'd had this photo 20-30 years ago, I might have been able to get these 2 ladies identified.

At the risk of seeming a total dullard, is TVRR the Tionesta Valley RR? If so, one of the Pennsylvania logging books has a fair amount on the RR.
If there is an overwhelming interest I'll go look it up

Oh Should looked it up in my copy of Hilton's "American Narrow Gauge Railroads"
If you have the book on the "other" TVRR, is there more on locos, rolling stock than just a roster?
Anyway, the REAL TVRR interchanged with B&O. Logging plus freight and passenger service. What's not to like?

More, but not a lot = freight and pass. It's wonder that the TVRR lasted as long as it did given finances and route....all it did was to connect up to the PRR in Port Royal and then trundle down to East Waterford.

If the Path Valley RR had every come to fruition it would have connected up to Sherman's Valley and also to the CVRR. They ran out of money trying to cut a tunnel through the one mountain - I was recently informed that the roadbed can be located and walked if one is so inclined and I use the word inclined freely as parts are a 4% grade.
