End of the Line
Title:  End of the Line
Description:  Just down the hill from Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, was the "College" station of the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad. The sole remaining P&LE passenger train, which ran until July 1985, started here every weekday morning for one trip to Pittsburgh and then came back in the evening. Not long after I made this picture, the train made its last run (you can see the discontinuance notice in the station window). June 1985 (date approx.) Unfortunately other signs of the P&LEs decline are in evidence: the hoppers on the left are in storage (note rust on the wheel tread); somebody told me that the railroad later sold a whole fleet of those hoppers to the Peoples Republic of China! Today you'd only find one track here (with concrete ties) operated by CSX.
