West Penn rail line to double track from Bolivar to Butler Junction
West Penn branch officials say a double track project from Bolivar to Butler Junction is under consideration to ease freight congestion on the main line. Bids may be opened today for the work, with surveys for a south river connection near Styde Park to lower grades and link to the main West Penn at Styde Park. The plan also envisions double tracking to Blairsville Intersection and the Bolivar branch. James Kerr of Clearfield bought the Hooverhurst & Southwestern line for 68500, a nine mile lumber road now owned by New York Central with intent to use it for future expansion toward Homer City Indiana relations. The New York Central aims to extend from Rossiter toward Homer City or Indiana.
