Can anybody tell me how the LV terminated its passengers in Pottsville PA? I thought that it used the PRR station as its main terminus, and also had a line to York Farm Junction on the "Peoples RR" (RDG), then trackage to 12th St.

The "SPR's Comprehensive Atlas of North American RR's" "Northeast" volume shows the LV with its own line, parallel to the "Peoples" to 12th St. (p67).

I think this is wrong, and would like to tell the author so (I'm already in correspondence with him with errors and additions).
