Some of you may remember me taking pictures last fall of the section of original Allegheny Valley (ex-Pennsy) line being re-laid between Kiski and Logansport. I was recently sent a link to a blog by one of the fellows doing the work… So I’m sharing it with you guys. Really cool to see track going down instead of torn up

Nice stuff. Love the steel ties, never seen them on anything but tramways
I’m wondering how long they’ll last.
They sure are… different. Close up they look like sections of highway guard rail. As one guy noted, the finished track resembles overgrowed Lionel 0-27 with the 3rd rail removed
On my trip to Africa in 1995, I got a chance to railfan th KR a bit near Kijabe (along the edge of the Rift Valley) … the ties on that line were very like those in your photo.

Sure does frustrate the termites.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting,…
