A quick Google search turns up this was a 3' narrow gauge road from 1888-1890 per http://www.geocities.com/cpawlus.geo/l-1.html The company is also mentioned on this link: http://www.mountaintimes.net/History/History.htm This seems to be one of the MANY logging roads that quickly moved on once resources were depleted in a certain area. Hope this helps, I did the best I could before I hit the hay. Todd K.

It outlines a find of c.1900 glass plate photographic negatives taken by one William Townsend Clarke of logging camps and families in NW Pa.
