I was out at the Chestnut Ridge curves yesterday to get replacement shots so I could use them in my book about the South Penn in Westmoreland County.

It seams to provide much more detail on proposed cuts and fills than what I have previously seen for the horseshoe at the Chestnut Ridge approach. <br />BenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841567806504068955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1368807027901576783.post-69335923275865401872011-03-29T18:01:24.851-07:002011-03-29T18:01:24.851-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Russell Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299089940061294573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1368807027901576783.post-65612202918098714282011-03-29T17:48:00.524-07:002011-03-29T17:48:00.524-07:00qmong

On Peter Barton's property in Breezewood/Rays Hill Post Office I had accidentally found a pipe sticking out of the side of the abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike and not until a few years later did I find a letter about this pipe that the Railroad contractors had put it there to protect the Barton's water supply. It was written in the contract that it was to be placed before the grade to cover the water supply.Russell Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299089940061294573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1368807027901576783.post-10463873815788081002011-03-29T12:22:03.737-07:002011-03-29T12:22:03.737-07:00The Pennsylvania Turnpike has been a great help ju...The Pennsylvania Turnpike has been a great help just by issuing a permit that allows me to gather photos on their property. Not much of the grade is on the turnpike proper but non the less some is still used by them. <br /><br />I must warn you that walking on the Pennsylvania Turnpike is dangerous and illegal. The last I checked with a Pennsylvania State Police officer that I know he revealed to me that if found doing so would cost you upwards from $375.00 and up. That was ten years ago.Russell Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299089940061294573noreply@blogger.com
