Eastern Railroad Discussion > amtrak. duffies cut

For those following this story. The team working on finding the remains of the irish immigrants that were buried under the philly to Chicago main line of the prr at duffies cut. They are starting a drilling process to locate the main grave. They now think they know exactly where it is. Back story. The immigrants were here only a month when an out break of cholora and anti cathlic lead to the murder of 58 of the workers building the line at duffies cut just west of philadelphia pa. Found in the prr records in 2009. Ànd being worked on since for both history and a proper burial.

Just to go a step further on the location: the site, as I understand it, is close to Frazer [just west of Malvern] in Chester County, near GLEN interlocking. I've also tried to follow along on this story as it's been years in the making. Will be interesting to see what they find. A link to the story on Wikipedia is below.
