I posted this to another forum, but thought maybe somebody here might know...

I drove by Landsdown Jct. (between Stanton and Grandin on the "Lehigh
Line") the other day. I know there was a station there long ago, in the
crux of the wye on the north side of the main.

Was there another structure there? I noticed (for the first time) a
stone foundation on the south side of the main, east of the crossing.
What was this? A water tower?

Does anyone have a track map of that area? There's one in The LV East of Mauch Chunk which shows the station, but no other structures.
