I am digging for some history the "Grizzly Flats" station..
Found out it was based on a Lehigh Valley Station!
in "Pottsville NY"
according to this site:
http://www.discoverlivesteam.com/magazine/19.html
well,,I just couldnt find a "Pottsville NY" anywhere!
no references to it at all anywhere on the internet..weird.
So I went and got my "LV Bible" (the Archer book!
and looked up Pottsville..
turns out its Pottsville PA!
the author of that Ward Kimball info got the state wrong..
(or the wrong info has been passed down through Disney history..)
the LV had a Pottsville branch deep in the Pennsylvania anthracite fields..
So now im looking for 2 things..
anyone ever see any drawings of this station?
(the Ward kimball version is probably much more likely to have drawing than the original LV version)
and im looking for a prototype photo of the LV station..
anyone ever see one?
thanks,
Scot
