(erielack) Information on siding ??



Does anyone have a DL&W map from 1939
to 1955 ,west end ?? Employee TT ??

I am trying to find evidence of a spur
between East Bethany and East Alexander.

It entered a large parcel of land recently
owned by Union Carbide,which was used by
them and predecessors to test gases and
equipment.(explosive properties)
 
One source told me that around 1960 he
helped a welder at the site and he saw
traces of an old siding.

A recent source was quoted as working for
a local contractor,one summer,burying
machinery,trucks and railroad cars that
remained on the site.

A casual drive on the r-o-w in the past
did not reveal any land formations,only
brush.If it did exist,it appears that
it was erased with purpose.  

Thanks in advance
LH
