Hi

Sunday I was driving through Centralia, and the surrounding area I noticed an old railroad grade in the town of Aristes PA. What railroad was this and are there any maps of this area?

Thanks

Aristes (Nee Montana) had a spur of the LV there as early as 1894 and late as 1955. Went to the Wilburton mines.

The track was torn out in the mid 60's. I traveled through Aristes many times in the '50s and '60s and never saw any activity on the track other than MOW equipment.
