The Pennpilot images from 1972 show the track infrastructure intact and each cement mill jammed with cars. Follow the line on live maps today and none of the cement plants even seem to have their spurs connected anymore. All the yards are gone.
My friends just had me over to watch a video of LNE, NB, DLW operations in the 1960s and my jaw almost dropped. Bath yard, Tadmore yard, DLW yard busy 24/7. The dexter hill tower by rt 248 had trains waiting 4-5 at a time. Main St in Bath blocked with trains passing each other. It was constant activity. Some mills even had switchers working all day at their plants shifting cars.
What rr chased the biz away and tore the track out? Im assuming CR in the 1980s but anyone know for sure?
