I don't know if Mr. Davids still looks here, but I have a question about the 4th. Sub. First, someone told me that the bridge over the South Bay, Lake Champlain was once a drawbridge. Any truth?
I'm back.
It was a swing bridge. The drawtender's house and the interlocking were removed in 1924.
The second is about pre-TCS sidings. It looks like one may have been around MP 81-82. Another looks to have been south of Monkey St., around MP 182. Any other ghosts besides post TCS ones removed, like Port Henry, and W. Chazy?
Lots of them. I don't know about 82, but Dresden was 127 cars at 87.3. Chazy siding held 80 cars. Plenty more, like Putnam, Cummings, Howards, and so on.
There was another post about doing a survey about closing crossings. There are 3-4 which come to mind near Chazy. When was this done?
We did the survey in October, 1966 and the crossings were closed in early 1967, IIRC.
