Wondering if anyone has information on the LV Pottsville Branch?
I've searched on here and also in google and have yet to find any real information about the line other than old Topo maps showing the line from Pottsville towards Bowmanstown (Lizzard Creek Jct.). I have been able to track the old ROW from 895 & Rauschs rd to 309 & LimeKiln Rd by both driving back roads and satellite. I'm curious about the line and have only seen it for the past 25 years before i tried to figure out the details about the line.
