Erie Railroad: Wyoming Division

This is a page of an Erie Railroad employee timetable, from Sunday June 6, 1920. This was reproduced in Erie: A Pictorial Review, by Edward F. Gardner in the early 1970's. These books contain alot of information on a number of the anthracite roads, and can usually be found at train shows.

This is in the vicinity of Milepost 15, the tracks are covered by heavy growth.

This is the area next to the tracks, just north of the mine opening, near milepost 15. At one time the line was double track from Milepost 6.3 Avoca, to Milepost 17.8 Nay Aug. I'm not sure when the line was single tracked. This is looking north.

A view of the area around the milepost. Note the retaining wall in the background. This is just a little north of the mine opening.

Best of all, we found milepost 15, thanks to a comment below. We must have walked past this 5-6 times before we finally found it.

Another view of the opening.

Along the Erie

Took our usual hike down the Erie tracks yesterday. We were able to get some better photos of the mine opening north of Sadler St. I'm thinking this might be some kind of air shaft. The land behind this, east of the tracks, was once owned by the Pennsylvania Coal Company, which was a sudsidiary of the Erie.
