Long gone Ironton Railroad

Another short line/regional that hauled coal, iron ore, and limestone to steel mills in PA back in the 1930s-80s. They ran some interesting power, including Baldwin diesels. Co-owners Reading and Lehigh Valley saw the demise brought by the Conrail merger. That ended the Ironton by 1983.

NOT part of DT&I I (Detroit, Toledo & Ironton). Two completely separate outfits. Right.
