A thread was removed from the LI forum about the Waldbaum's siding, I wanted to add and ask these:
I chased a few freights in the 1970s, but only have 126 Instamatic photos!
I do remember the freight serving Waldbaums (also Hill's in Pine-Aire and Eldee's), and I once chased a freight from Valley to W-H by bike!
It had the 1520 that day and was backing into W-H with a Buffalo Creek flour boxcar when I got there. There was also a siding east of Malveren, on a curve, under a hwy. overpass.(Wasn't that near where the steam engine is suopposed to be buried?!?)
I have a few questions myself, I seem to remember tracks in the street just east of RVC station by the power plant, but not for too long in the early 1960's.
And does the Freeport team track still exist, and see use?
