Into the Allegheny Range Volume IV (DVD)
Sand Patch Grade
CSX's Sand Patch Grade in western Pennsylvania is one of the most popular railfanning sites in the eastern U.S. Heavy tonnage, high density traffic, and grueling mountain grades are trademarks of this famous ex-Baltimore & Ohio route.
In this exciting production, which was taped over a three-year period, you'll see a multitude of trains at familiar landmarks as well as the rarely seen west slope, in all seasons of the year. Many of the locomotives are seen sporting their pre-CSX paint schemes from various predecessor railroads.
Visit towers, tunnels, obscure branchlines, and see the last train to ever run on the old Berlin Subdivision out of Garrett, Pennsylvania. You'll even ride on a pusher engine shoving an eastbound freight from Connellsville, PA up the west slope to the summit at Sand Patch. It's the ultimate mountain railroading experience.!
