Re: (erielack) Steamtown Images--August 25, 2017--B Series (B2408-B2412) IDs
Do you happen to know when the new line Factoryville station was torn down? I know the old line station burned, IIRC, in the early 1980s. I used to drive past it quite a bit when I lived in the area in the 1970s. It was pretty close to the southbound lanes of US 11!
I wonder which one disappeared first?
