Bob Zeolla’s, HO Conemaugh Line
The Conemaugh Line represents a portion of Conrail’s operation in western Pennsylvania diverging from Conrail’s Pittsburgh Line at ConPit Junction near Johnstown, and rejoining Conrail’s Ft Wayne Line in Pittsburgh. The modeled portion is from Kiski Yard at the confluence of the Kiskiminetas and Allegheny Rivers near Freeport to Federal Street in Pittsburgh. Staging extends this area eastward to Johnstown Pennsylvania; westward through Pittsburgh to Conway Yard; also westward to Butler; and northward to Kittanning. In addition, an interchange with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (Chessie System) is modeled at Etna. The modeled time period is the year 1978. The hub of operations during this period on the modeled portion of the Conemaugh is Kiski Yard. All traffic either originated or terminated here, or at least stopped at Kiski for set outs and pickups. Secondary yards along the line are at Etna and West Tarentum. Externally, the Conemaugh was served by Conrail’s classification yard at Conway. Digitrak DCC, 300’ Mainline , 18’ x 16’ .
