New York, Ontario and Western: Carbondale
These concrete pillars once supported the NYO&W's right-of-way through Carbondale. When the Scranton branch was constructed, the City of Carbondale wouldn't let the O&W cross through the city at ground level. So the O&W constructed a series of bridges. these pillars remain, in a lot off Dundaff Street, adjacent to the station site. The O&W ceased operation in March, 1957.

Carbondale: Klots Throwing Co.
This is the Klots Throwing Company building on Dundaff Street in Carbondale, next to the D&H yard. In 1895, H.D. Klots opened his first textile mill in Carbondale, expanding operations to Scranton, Archbald, Forest City, and Moosic by 1916.The company , like many others, struggled through the depression, and was reorganized, in 1937, as the General Textile Mills Corporation. By World War Two the company was using synthetic fabrics to make parachutes for the Army. Later the company began making helmets, their "Rioter Helmet" was a favorite of many police departments in the 1960's. In 1958 the name was changed to Gentex Corporation.

Scranton: Unknown Ruins
On some of our journeys we come across unknown ruins from the past. This is just east of the Erie tracks, and is in an unused section of Nay Aug Park. We're not sure what this is, but it was worth taking a photo of. Somewhere around here should be an abandoned stretch of Elmhurst Boulevard, but we've yet to stumble across it.

Scranton: Luna Park
This is the same location as the postcard below. This was taken last Sunday, August 5. Barely visible in the heavy growth is a portion of the base of the old footbridge. This is much easier to find in the late fall, or early spring. The park closed at the end of the 1916 season, following a fire. This bridge shouldn't be confused with the Boulevard Bridge, which was further west of this location.
