Dates:12/21/1983 - 1/2/1984
Album Info:On Jan. 2, 1984, a group of enthusiastic people making up the West Shore Line Railroad (WTSE) stockholders gathered at the connection of the former PRR’s L&T Branch with the Conrail Buffalo Line at Montandon, PA. Their objective was to start up their nee-PRR 9425, exx-PC 8525, ex-CR 8525 SW1 switcher recently delivered by Conrail and run it to Mifflinburg, where the businesses to be served were located. Conrail was not interested in maintaining service on the branch, and this group of business operators, railfans, and others eager to keep the line open would begin with an inaugural move of their SW1 switcher.
