Ruins of Plane Number 5

 We went up East Mountain last week, haven't been up here in ages. Pennsylvania Coal Company Railroad Plane 5 operated from 1850 - 1880 and was part of a series of planes used to move coal to Hawley on the D&H canal from down in the Pittston area.

From an 1877 insurance map. Note, not all roads/lots platted were constructed. The present day Erie Railroad, Wyoming Division tracks, now out of service, more or less follow the light track in this map.
