Realignments detail
There have been multiple realignments on the line over time (see for some of them):

See for info on realignments until 1903.
 * 1952 Conemaugh Dam realignment (more info at )
 * 1907 realignment (current West Penn Trail) -- see
 * 1887 Hyde Park tunnel elimination & Leechburg realignment
 * 1883 Lower-grade connection to Pittsburgh Line from Blairsville to Bolivar (later at Conpitt Junction) instead of Blairsville Branch connection from Blairsville to Blairsville Intersection.
 * 1883 Saltsburg-Roaring Run realignment
 * 1883 Bow Tunnel-Social Hall realignment

It seems the line that was originally built (by the North Western Railroad) between Kiski Junction and Saltsburg was not intended to be a low-grade/water level bypass (see ). This seems to be the reasoning behind at least some of the realignments (Hyde Park tunnel, Pittsburgh Line connection, Saltsburg-Roaring Run realignment). --Hhm8 (talk) 17:59, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
