was there a name given the spur that served Easton Car & Construction Co, Easton Foundry & Manufacturing Co, Easton Finishing Co, Sterling Products Co. and Hawley Down-Draft Furnace Co? It appears to have come off the LV in Glendon, had a big loop near the Morgan Valley (southern tip of the Chrin landfill today) then headed up towards Southside the named industries and a couple of coal and lumber businesses. That loop is still manifest on Williams Township tax maps though the tracks are long gone.

answered my own question - the Southside Industrial Branch opened in 1910 and served Easton Car & Construction Co, Easton Foundry & Manufacturing Co, Easton Finishing Co, Sterling Products Co. and Hawley Down-Draft Furnace Co? It appears to have come off the LV in Glendon, had a big loop near the Morgan Valley (southern tip of the Chrin landfill today) then headed up towards Southside the named industries and a couple of coal and lumber businesses.
