The sad thing is that it was probably a fairly big deal to the owner and others involved when equipment arrived. Even though cameras were not as common as they are today, you would think somebody aimed a Brownie Kodak at the new arrival and took a B&W shot or two. Unfortunately prints and negs ...

There was a siding off the DL&W Bloomsburg Branch just east of the CP&W that they would park equipment when it arrived. From there it was moved to the CP&W property. There was also a section of standard gauge track that came from the DL&W Line into the CP&W but I haven't been abl...

As far as I know that C&O caboose was scrapped in 1973 when the CP&W was sold after the passing of Carroll. The photo I posted was taken in 1968. Do you know when it came to the C&O from the PM? There were also two old C&O camp cars. A kitchen car (X-34 & X-972). Both were also s...
