  Fun fact #2 there were technically SIX railroads, but not concurrently. The O&B (Ohio & Baltimore) short line ran from the (removed) B&O Yough River crossing at Wheeler, across the B&O FM&P sub and then overtop of the PRR to some mines and coke ovens, crossing over Route 119 at Sitka and heading toward Leisenring. a portion of the stone arch bridge at Wheeler bottom remains and can still be seen today.

  I’d planned to model this in HO scale c. 1967 and had a massive collection assembled, but it never got off the ground. If you wanted to do this, you’d need a proper mix of… PRR, B&O EMDs, WM EMD/Alco in Speed paint only, N&W (hi hood), P&LE U-boats, add in some misc RDG power to WM + B&O, and add relevant freight cars. Then you’d need to custom model the important buildings and bridge structures. Also fun fact there were a total of four rail yards (B&O, Bowest (WM, Dunbar) Greenwood (PRR, Wheeler bottom), and P&LE (with Dickerson Run further to the north). All that remains there today is the CSX yard and its connections to WLE (N&W) and SWP (PRR) railroads.

  The improvements to South Street + Kings Ct are nice, but I would argue the city is only trying to solve safety issues that they're creating themselves. South street is less than a mile long, and runs entirely through a dense(ish) part of the city, yet its posted at 35 MPH. With the wide travel lanes, I'd assume most cars are doing 40+. Lowering the limit to 20, narrowing the lanes, and adding a stop sign at each intersection would make the crossing safer than any flashing beacon, high vis sign or surface markings ever could, without requiring pedestrians to read a manual on how to cross the street. The current Crossing setup is only acceptable if automobile speed is a priority over pedestrian safety. If that is not the case, then there is no better solution than slow speeds, narrow lanes, and stops at every crossing. The same goes for Madonna road, however that would require much more physical alterations.

  I am really glad you are critical of this crossing. I think that while it is definitely an upgrade from the previous nothing, that this infrastructure was primarily put in place with the cyclists in mind. Biking seems to be a big theme and culture out there in that area, and this infrastructure demonstrated it. I mean, there isn't even a crosswalk for people walking on the other side of King Ct. I would say that the only reason the lanes are so wide is because it was a previous 4 lane road. It really is only a temporary fix in my mind. I am glad you enjoyed the video! It really means a lot to get these considerate comments, and shows you connected to the content. Thank you!

  Winona, Minnesota, also had 5 railroads up until the mid-1960’s. They were the Milwaukee Road line from Chicago to St. Paul; The Chicago and Northwestern line from Adams Wisconsin to South Dakota; the Green Bay and Western from Green Bay to Winona, the Chicago Great Western branch from Rochester MN to Winona, and the Chicago Burlington and Quincy, whose Chicago - Minneapolis main line ran on the east bank of the Mississippi and who had trackage rights over the GB&W from East WInona to WInona. They kept a switch engine in Winona. Today, all of the rail lines into Winona are owned by the CPKC. The Chicago and Great Western was abandoned in the late 1960’s, and the Green Bay and Western was abandoned following a fire which destroyed their Mississippi River bridge. This also terminated the BN (CB&Q) trackage rights. The Union Pacific acquired the Chicago and Northwestern and retains trackage rights over the CPKC from Winona to Adams, as the result of the acquisition of the Milwaukee Road by the Soo LIne and the subsequent merger of the Soo Line into the Canadian Pacific (CP) and ultimately the CPKC.
