The mid-October cold snap really muted the colors; but look out! Stand back! This baby is really rolling. |

| Description: |
A fast moving morning manifest provides more zest than a strong cuppa caffeine. |

Somewhat pure |
| Description: |
But for the shamefully cemented-in windows of former MG Block Station, the missing old No.1 track and the rearing horse rather than keystone, this might still be a Pennsy scene at one of very few remaining locations retaining an original PRR appearance. |

Autumn Serenade |
| Description: |
Ahhh, the exquisite pleasure of hearing locomotives smoothly assaulting the grade amidst the piquant air and eye-candy surroundings of autumn foliage. A helper set is coupled ahead of the lone road unit to snap a hopper train up the grade. |

Mountain Railroading |
| Description: |
The essence. As late as 1951, there were some 54 first class schedules, twenty four of which passed MG between 11pm and 6am. Ten years later, the schedules were more than cut in half. That one time volume with all of the freight traffic and helper movements associated therewith accounts for the necessity of an interlocking mid-grade on the east slope of The Mountain, hence the presence of this architecturally superb block station deep in the Allegheny forest. |

You can count on it |
| Description: |
Usta be in pre-CR breakup days there was a virtually steady procession of westbound manifests through the morning and afternoon: OIPI, LMPI, MOPI, BEPI, CAPI, EDPI, ESPI, BAPI; and in PC/PRR days the fleet of PR or LCL trains, et al. Manifest business isnt the same with NS, but the one thing you can count upon is a trash train. 65J is not so odiferous in milder weather and has a helper set first out. |
