Mon Valley Montage - Coal Trains, Street Running, Foreign Power and AVR

This video is a little compilation of different catches during a few of my trips to Western Pennsylvania while railfanning the Pittsburgh area. While in our travels capturing the various short line operations, my friends and I have stumbled upon a few different things while driving alongside the Monongahela River. With street running road freights, including a pair of foreign locomotives on a CSX loaded sand train and a doubled up loaded coal train on NS, a pair of Dash 9s leading coal empties past an old Conrail tri-light signal and even a catch of the Allegheny Valley Railroad emerging from a tunnel in downtown Pittsburgh. There's a little taste of it all in this "Mon Valley Montage", so I hope you enjoy the video!
