I recently acquired a map of the Reading Company's system, in what is purported to be a period frame. I'm not terribly concerned whether it is, or is not an actual period frame. However, the map certainly looks to be authentic from the period and the wear on the frame would also appear to make it about 60 years old. Mostly, it will just look nice in my den/model railroad room.
However, I am fascinated by something I noticed on the Herndon line - a waypoint of some sort, just west of Dornsife, called Latshaw. This is a fairly uncommon name, though it seems to most often be a surname in Pennsylvania German and Swiss populations. Does anybody know this history of this location? Was it a tower, or a station, or something else?
