A photo taken by the WMRY in 1917 of the Ohio Pyle Station. I took a similar photo much later on October 17, 2009. (thanks to Mike Yetter and Warren Hart for photo)

A photo of the rear of the station also in 1917. The second photo is looking back east at the station from the roadbed. (10.17.09)&(thanks to Mike Yetter and Warren Hart for photo)

First photo is of the eastern end of the former WM bridge at Ohio Pyle. This span had a very low highway clearance and was the first to be removed the day of abandonment. In fact it was removed so early that a WM excursion that was to be the last train over the Connellsville Extension had to detour over the B&O due to this span being removed so early. The second photo is looking out o the remainder of the bridge which stood idle after abandonment and was later replaced with the foot bridge pictured below. (thanks to Mike Yetter and Warren Hart for photo)

Here is a newspaper article from The Evening Standard, dated May 20, 1975. Show a WM train coming off the new configured connection to the B&O at Ohio Pyle for WM rails. Also a boy standing on the WM bridge looking east at the section of the bridge about to be removed for better highway clearance for trucks.

A WM train is coming off the WM and the train is on the B&O heading east. The WM mainline can be seen in the distance and the bridge section over the roadway removed very soon after this photo was taken. (Thanks to Medford Trains for the photo)

Looking west across what would become the bridge here at Ohio Pyle.
Here is the replacement footbridge at Ohio Pyle. (10.17.09)
