Scranton: Nay Aug Park

A view of Nay Aug Gorge from last Sunday, August 26. This is just east of the falls.

Carbondale: Culm Pile

A common sight in the Anthracite Region are these culm dumps. I'm not sure which colliery this was, but this is north of the D&H yard in Carbondale. A remnant of the Industrial Revolution.

Laurel Line: South of Connell Junction

Here is the trolley, Philadelphia Suburban No.80, northbound at the bridge abutments. This was on Friday, August 17, about 15 minutes after the bee incident.

Delaware and Hudson: Carbondale

This is all that remains the the D&H station platform in Carbondale. I'm not sure if this is from the passenger station, or the freight station, I suspect the latter, considering the size.

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.
