WESTERN ALLEGHENY RAILROAD COMPANY, GHOST RAILS VOLUME II, 2006 by Wayne A. Cole. This was the last steam railroad in the state of Pennsylvania, and the last F7 diesel units in revenue service in America. From New Castle to Brady's Bend, from the Ohio Pennsylvania line to Driftwood, the Western Allegheny almost diminished traffic on the PRR Horseshoe Curve. Ghost Rails II is a history buff's history; a phantom account revealed for the first time. Ten miles of the WA Railroad and half a dozen coal villages rest beneath Lake Arthur and Moraine State Park. From Green Row to Blue Row and Rose Point, Ghost Rails II cuts a steel line of refreshing history across Western Pennsylvania. Surprisingly, from Kaylor to Queen Junction, the WA RR operated until 1994. This book follows its history from 1903 to 2006, mile by mile. Hundreds of photos, names and maps, with shots of the coal and limstone mines above and below ground. Includes 16-page color insert. 224 pages, 8 1/2 x 11 hardbound. ISBN: 0-9727397-1-8
