Trying to Find Information About Two Freight Yards on the Csx in Johnstown - Trains Magazine

.....Gentlemen:  Regarding the CSX...formally the Somerset & Cambria branch of the B&O from Johnstown to Rockwood.

Paul has listed good starting points of info regarding taking a look at the line, etc.....and other data as well. 

Paul, you are right on....We're from the little historic town {1778}, of Stoystown.  Former spelling: Stoyestown.  In fact, the sign on the depot at Kantner, {just down in the valley from Stoystown}, did indicate Stoyestown.....and that very sign {and the restored depot} can be seen at the Lions grounds just below Stoystown currently.  That is just about a mile {or less}, from it's original location along side of said line....

We have been  here in Indiana now for 49 years....so not sure how helpful we might be, but I'd certainly try.

I do have some  photos of the restored depot but have never installed photos on here, but I could send them to Paul, {to install here}, or this inquiring gentleman can send me an email and I'd send them to him. 

Who knows, in conversation...we might be able to pull up some info.

Email: 

The branch line has held my interest for decades....One passes near or over crossings of it driving between Somerset and Johnstown, etc...so I was close to it back then....

It is still intact from Johnstown to Rockwood.  Just in the past several years, the line that comes off at Coleman, and provides a route up to Shanksville, that lay dormant for many years, has been renovated, and is active again pulling unit trains of coal from Shanksville down to the S&C and on to Somerset and on over to Rockwood to attain the  CSX east / west main. {Sand Patch, etc..}.
