Re: (erielack) Information on siding ??



Lynn,

In the 40's at least, the East Bethany Refrigerating Company had a 
storage track off the eastbound siding at East Bethany. From the charts 
I have, which aren't great, there was what looks to be an engine escape 
switch at the east end of that storage track which connected back to the 
siding.

This is admittedly pieced together information and incomplete. Hopefully 
someone else with a deeper knowledge of the area can fill in more details.

Regards,

Will Shultz
