Cresson Branch - PRR

The Cresson Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad connects Punxsutawney, PA to the PRR system at Cresson, PA, with access to the B&O in Cloe and the NYC System in Mahaffey. Operations represent the fictional necessities of the railroad on February 2, 1955 – Groundhog Day, with steam and some diesel operations. My version of conditions includes more mixed freight and less coal, as that’s what the fictional customers demand.
