The branch of the Pennsylvania Rail Road ended at Hastings, south of town at the area called first Webster Mines and then Coke Ovens [150 ovens at one time] and Lanark. The RR went north out of Hastings toward Clearfield County. Near Lantzy's Mill [Driscoll/Driskel Hollow] the line split at Garway Junction. The original RR continued north to Westover, Five Points [where my grandmother, Crissy Woods lived], LaJose [where there were several connections north and east] and went to Mahaffey where it joined the main line of the New York Central. I am not sure where, but somewhere the RR made a west turn to Glen Campbell in Indiana County. I believe it dead ended there. The original RR to Hastings [built 1887-1889 by imported Italian workers] was later split at Garway Junction and went to Elder's Mills [now Thomas Mills] then Patton [mines opened 1893], then Eckenrode Mills, then Bradley Junction, then Cresson where it joined the Mainline of the Pennsylvania RR. It was at one time the main connection between the northern New York Central and the mid-state Pennsylvania RR, carrying coal. At times other RR's used parts of the line, the Beech Creek RR from Centre County having a station at Patton. My grandfather, Ambrose Feighner, was a station agent there and also at Spangler. That line from Mahaffey to Cresson is still open. I can sometimes hear the whistle as the train goes through Patton, and used to hear it from my step-father's farm near Eckenrode Mills. I don't know what it carries now, but it does not run a regular schedule. Between 1890 and 1930 [approximately] the coal was usually being mined, and the RR carried mail and passengers. Some of the small mining towns had not roads, only the RR which was controlled by the mines. Besides regular social and business passengers, students would ride from the country or small towns to larger towns that had high schools. My mother's teacher at the Weber School [about 1925] would ride from Patton to Eckenrode Mills each morning, then walk up the hill to the Weber School. In the evening she would walk to Eckenrode Mills and wait for the train at the Eckenrode home. The passenger train service ended sometime in the 1930s. The last service I know about was about 1954 when the local Catholic elementary sschools sponsored a train trip to Pittsburgh. I know my school from Hastings got on the train at Patton. That is all I remember really.
