Re: (erielack) Phoebe Snow footage

David
Your getting two track alterations confused, and  apparently you missed my 
post on 6/5/09:
   
And before the single tracking between Slateford Jct  and Bells Bridge 
during the summer of 1958.

It has  to be after 1955 and Diane. The track configuration under I80 is a 
dead give  away since it is only one track through there.

and my article that appeared in Vol16 No 2.of the Diamond.
 
Single tracking after the1955 flood ONLY involved Bells Bridge its  self.  
BTW ( not Bells Gap Bridge ).  It returned to double  track east of the 
bridge around Tinker Town Crossing, thus  double track  continued through 
Delaware Water Gap Station and the Water Gap  its self after 1955 and all flood 
damage was repaired.
 
The single tracking between Bells Bridge and Port Morris  progressed West 
to East starting in 1958.

I have  watched the Phoebe footage a number of times & I have these 
questions  & observations.  The Bells Gap Bridge is replaced with a single track  & 
Broadhead Creek just west of the bridge is all rip rapped up which was  
done after Hurricane Diane in 1955-but the Water Gap footage showed the line  
as double tracked. I thought that the GAP was single tracked right after  
Diane? Also the State road Route 191 overhead at Gravel Place is not rebuilt  
yet (notice the hanging approach on the left side), as Diane washed that out. 
 



I thought as a rebuild after Diane the line was single tracked  from 
Slateford Interlocking-just west of our DL's Slateford Jct yard  interchange point 
with NS to the west side of the Bells Gap Bridge by  Rock-Tenn CP Bells 
Gap-and both control points were remote from the E.  Stroudsburg tower? If 
there is double track at Water Gap station how does it  get to single track at 
the Bells Gap Bridge, because in post Diane times the  interlocking for the 
single track was west of the Bells Gap Bridge! Maybe  there are two different 
trips spliced together? There are two different scenes  at Cresco? Anyways 
how did it get from double track to single east of the  Bells Gap Bridge 
over Broadhead Creek? Also in the GAP scenes the row does not  seem to be 
hurricane ravaged &recently rebuilt-remember the Rt 191 bridge  isn't replaced 
over the DL at Gravel Place?
