(I'm not sure if this is a repeat of part of my previous reply - my fingers are not very accurate and I either send or deleted my first attempt!) In reading...
To our Gravity Railroad group members: As you know, steam engines were vital to the operation of most gravity railroads. We are going to have a Pennsylvania...
I don't remember if I passed this on before, but ACME Mapper is a good viewer that allows you to toggle between Google aerials, USGS topos, Google street maps...
Going thru the groups postings I came across a question from pjkettlejr asking about the supposedely second tunnel on the PCC Gravity Railroad somewhere in...
Tony, I suspect that we are referring to the same picture. With all of my wanderings in that area, I never saw anything that looked like a 'daylighted'...
Paul thanks for getting back to me and your half correct on the E&WV RR destroying the Gravity bed . Did you know that the Gravity Light Track bed is still...
Gentlemen Just a comment or two to try adding some information to your discussion regarding the light track: West of Elmhurst where it crosses from the north...
Dick , Let me start off by saying that some of the DL&W / NS / Steamtown track bed we see today is not the same track bed from 1855 , the original bed in...
Tony Thanks for that information. I remember a conversation I had with a guy in work a few years ago who was telling me him and his son came across a tunnel...
Ask that guy if he was hiking on the mountain behind the Holiday Inn here in Dunmore , thats where the Loaded Track Tunnel is , there is nothing that looks...
Regarding our conversations on the OLD RAILROAD GRADE that came from Winton into Dunmore and maybe it mayhave been a different route than the DL&W Winton...
A quick reply: I've seen "Station" refer to junctions on many maps, where no platform or station existed. Also, Penn State's Digital Bookshelf has scanned...
... I believe 'station' refers to any 'named location', whether or not a depot is located there. It's my understanding that formally the terms 'station' and...
Matt, Yes that's the map (one of only two) showing the "Old Railroad Grade" Tony is talking about. I agree with your hard to manipulate comment on the PSU ...
I think I know where that is. If you follow the ex-Erie line to the edge of the scrapyard, this large rock cut can be seen. We stumbled across it this year...
Hi everyone, I've been a member here for a while but this is my first post here. I came across this old car in PA right off of Rt. 106 in Greenfield Township...
Yes, It is D&H combination car #2 and is one of the earlier cars, being built about 1867. It was used as a Bunkhouse for workers on the farm starting in 1899...
Mike , it's me Tony Ranella Jr. That rock cut you saw is the PCC Gravity Light Track , the cut is the Donnelly Cut and about 20 years ago you could have...
Mike , the Gravity crossed much further up the Brook than the E&WV RR , if you are going towards the Pocono's from Dunmore on 380 , just as the 380 bridge...
"If anyone of you fellows would like to see this in person , just let me know and I'll be glad to make arrangements on a Saturday so we can meet and look at...
Guy's , I just want to let all that are interested in the PCC Gravity know that today ( Monday ) myself and my Uncle and a close friend were hiking on Incline...
Tone: Nice! Would be great to see that history! It's neat to think that even back then the PCC was a "green" company as they used coal fired steam stationary...

As I said it starts next to St. Johns Cemetery and would parallel the left side of the Underwood road and pass thru what is now the Mid-Valley School , then...
Tony, Do you have a map that shows this branch line? We suspected there was a railroad bed near where the warehouse now sits between that and the main Cinram...
Mike those abutments supported the small bridge that crossed over Sterry Creek , is this what your talking about . If you go on Pennpilot 1937 down where...
