Looks good to me Bob. A couple of notes about C0443:
1. The coal pile at the right would be removed by the late 1920s, when the Morgan Highway going up to Clarks Summit was built.
2. At this point in time, the O&W Capouse Branch did not go to Sibley. It ended at the DL&W Keyser Valley branch near the Keyser Valley shops. Perhaps it did late in 1909, but not at this point. I've attached an article from the Scranton Truth dated 9/14/1909 which I found a few months ago that talks about building the branch to Sibley.
