The Norfolk & Western Railway operated the Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railway from 1964 through 1990 as its Connellsville District. The P&WV is a fascinating rail line that will be extensively covered in a proposed series of pictorial books now in the planning stages at Montour Shops. This first in a planned series of spectacular pictorials will cover the N&W/NS Era Operations from the late 1970's up through and including the final days of Norfolk Southern operations before the Connellsville District was transferred to the W&LE.

This new black & white (Duotone) pictorial book will cover the entire 111 miles of main track including the West End, Mifflin, Clairton and Donora Branches. The dustcover photograph of N&W 1336 East exiting Temple Tunnel taking 50 loads of grain to Chaintown gives us a preview of what to expect in the new pictorial. This new pictorial will contain 144 pages, printed on 150 pound acid free paper, measures 12"x9" complete with hardcover and dustcover.

Montour Shops has put together a new special price. This Connellsville District book is now available for $25.00 per book. If you'd like to purchase both the Connellsville District and Montour RR books, both books together are $50.00.
