Railroads include the Bessemer & Lake Erie, Erie Lackawanna, and PRR.

EL crosses the diamonds at the PRR Bruin Tower, not even a mile away from XN. A PRR SD45 waits for the EL train to pass.

EL SD45 at the Reynolds Industry Park.

On a spring morning in 1991 we 847 leading 873, and 210 throughout Mercer County:
We first find the train at Main St. in Greenville.

455 is observed on the high line. (of course this isnt realistic for 1991)

Later that day 210 leads a train north, to Shenango.
