DL&W Keyser Branch

Hello,

Does anyone know if the DL&W used to cross the NYO&W's Capouse branch at grade, or via an overpass to access the Keyser Valley shops?

Happy Holidays!

Sincerely,
Walter Conklin

It was a grade level crossing protected by "other than interlocking signals" according to DL&W TT Special Instructions.

Someplace in the last few years I have seen a photo of the location (circa 1920 era) but can't seem to remember where. It also shows on DL&W 1940's track charts.
