Once just specks on the vast landscape of the Northern Plains, these twin cities prospered, teeming with their own dynamic culture, economy, and politics.

For 25 years, the Butler Branch, part of the PRR Conemaugh Division, was the 21 miles of railroad that supplied the iron ore to the United States Steel Saxonburg sintering plant for the steel mills of the Mon Valley. It was the true industrial gateway to America. Beginning along the Allegheny River and Buffalo Creeks, this is the detailed history, 1870 to 1990, and what remains behind in 2009. Eighty pages of the book are dedicated to the 8 mile Winfield Railroad, an industrial giant that lasted for nearly ninety years, tucked away in the Rough Run valley off Buffalo Creek and the PRR Butler Branch at Winfield Junction. From limestone to cement, horse manure to mushrooms, the private railroad of F. W. Mckee that intertwined with the PRR was a first rate survival. Right of way ghosts tell the rest of the story today.
