Steam & Excursion > History Still ThereDate: 02/19/21 11:22 History Still There Author: MacBeau The depot in this view looking down Susquehanna Street in Mauch Chunk, PA from August 1940 still stands, but a little time with Google Maps Street View reveals eighty years of change. Interestingly enough, a train still can be seen in front of the depot. Credit Jack Delano and the FSA for this timeless classic.

Here's a link to the Google Streetsview from approximately the same location. Lots of changes, but some things remain. https://www.google.com/maps/@40.8618128,-75.7382568,3a,75y,11.27h,100.93t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sKWVORaY4MaycxBSHlsScGA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 Date: 02/19/21 14:12 Re: History Still There Author: bigsavage Buildings to far left are either gone or redeveloped, fortunately the RR infrastructure remains.
Occasionally you can find operating steam, F-units, or RDCs at the x-CNJ depot. Most weekends in spring,summer, fall finds Jim Thorpe overun with tourists. Pic, 8/22/2020 |
