My Hometown---Part 2

[e-paw]

Cool stuff Mr Nutbar. I just wanted to show you a pic from my hometown. It's not much but you can see the raised (now overgrown road bead) that was originally laid down by the DL&W in the late 1850's. After the Civil war it was purchased by the CNJ and improved upon as far as lessening the grade and widening the curvature of the rails. The CNJ also Improved the Ice House owned by the Lackawanna Ice Company at Lake Paupunonming (now Saylor's lake). It was then sold to the LNE around the late 30's early 40's, I don't remember the exact year. After the LNE closed up shop the CNJ was given back the line by the surface transportation board and basically the next day tore up the rails and abandoned the the entire branch line. This section of track also serviced the Blue Ridge Enameled Brick Co. Now most of the right of way is used by the Blue Ridge flee market as a parking lot.
