I'm originally from SWPA too, near Uniontown/Brownsville in Fayette County. My dad's been a railroad man his whole life, so I'll tell him to keep an eye out for ya. You've inspired me to more closely check out the rail lines that run along the Susquehanna here. I've gone down to them over the past year to view the river (I've only lived here for this past year), but have yet to walk them to see where they come out nearer to town. It's quite possible that I could use them occassionaly for cutting off a portion of my road ride into town.
