Hi All:
Just doing some more research on the LV lines up in coal country, and got to wondering...
When was the Hays Creek branch built and for what purpose?
I mean I know it was built for coal, but for shipping coal north to Wilkes Barre & etc, or???
When did it start to decline in use - I believe it was abandoned in the mid 1960's?
Anybody know what action was like towards the end?
I want to get back into where it came off the LV mainline over by Tannery. What's the best
way to access the bridge abutments over the LV mainline etc?
Any info would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Frank
