The track is real bad past Coaldale. Washouts and thick vegitation. Behind the LNE station you can not even see the rails they are so burried in silt. Perhaps it's not safe to run on.
The building just east of the LNE station and road xing now used by Siberline was the LCNCo coal hopper repair shop. Large yard was next to the building and they repaired coal hoppers there.
Interesting that in Arlington Yard on the old hump track there is a customer or sorts that gets a tank car. I don't know what this can be since it's in the middle of no where. There are hoses that come out of the ground and plug into the tank car.
I was told that the RDG took over the CNJ's LNERwy operations in the mid-1970s in the area and the RDG closed Arlington Yard to save $ and moved all coal weighing and classification to Spring St Yard.
I recall back in the mid-1980s the track just past Broad St in Tamaqua was double track. On the left track was a string of CR coal hoppers that were parked there so long small trees were growing thru the middle of the cars. Then one day the hoppers were gone and the second track was ripped up.
You may not believe it when I tell you, but back in the day this line was TRIPPLE track thru Tamaqua all the way to Coaldale where it turned double track. Oh, and it was signaled. The 1969 arials show all the track and yards in place in Lansford, but it's all abandoned by this date.
