Hi All:

At http://www.west2k.com/pastations/schuylkill.shtml" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, they list a "Swatara" depot still standing somewhere off of Route 209 in Schuylkill County.
Current use is supposedly as a hunting shack.

I'm interested in tracking this one down and wondering if anybody can help with more details/directions?

The Swatara I know is of course on the mainline from Reading to Harrisburg. Although there was a "Swatara Junction" somewhere near Pine Grove/Tremont.

Help?

Thanks,

Frank
