Eastern Railroad Discussion > Where was this?Date: 11/09/07 11:49 Where was this? Author: Schuylkill_Valley Hi all, I scand this from one of my old railroad books of the 1940's,
Hint: It's on the Reading. Good luck. Len.  Date: 11/09/07 11:51 Re: Where was this? Author: toledopatch All right, it's obvious you love all the attention your photo posts generate, but I'm going to ask again: Who's giving you authority to copy and post copyrighted work on the Internet?
Date: 11/09/07 14:41 Re: Where was this? Author: Schuylkill_Valley The rules of copyright: As long as your not selling the photo's or receiving money in any way, Your not violating any copyright rules. and besides theses magazine have been out of print for over 67 years.
I own an Productions Company, So I know the rules of copyrights. Now lets return to our show. Hint: It's near Pottsville. Len. Date: 11/09/07 18:19 Re: Where was this? Author: kato Actually, making money has nothing to do with it. Unless you have permission or the photo is in the public domain you may technically be in violation of copyright, although I doubt if anyone would seriously object to their use in a simple posting.

Gonut Date: 11/09/07 18:37 Re: Where was this? Author: Schuylkill_Valley Sorry it's not Port carbon. Try again. The book I scanned this picture from was dated 1935, I dought the person that even took the photo is even alive any longer. and the book is out of print, it's call railroad pictures USA.

Hint: there was a wye there. Len. Date: 11/09/07 19:26 Re: Where was this? Author: ls Belt Line Jct?
Date: 11/09/07 19:39 Re: Where was this? Author: Schuylkill_Valley Belt Line Jct. is noways near Pottsville.
Hint: There was an Wye track here at this location at one time. Len. Date: 11/09/07 20:34 Re: Where was this? Author: Gonut1 The only other place that even rings a bell near Pottsville is the road bridge over the tracks at Saint Clair and I don't think there was a wye there not to mention i think that bridge was concrete.
Gonut Date: 11/09/07 20:42 Re: Where was this? Author: Schuylkill_Valley Who said anything about a road bridge? This is also an hint.
Len. Date: 11/09/07 20:46 Re: Where was this? Author: Schuylkill_Valley A nother hint, That track is now own by Reading & Northern Railroad.
Len. Date: 11/10/07 04:43 Re: Where was this? Author: Gonut1 Just below the village of Mar Lin. PRR over the Reading. I don't know if they still call it Mar Lin.
Gonut Date: 11/10/07 06:38 Re: Where was this? Author: ls Birdsboro or Tamaqua?
Date: 11/10/07 07:05 Re: Where was this? Author: Schuylkill_Valley That not mer lin. Hint: This location is near Minersville, Pa.
Len. Date: 11/10/07 08:27 Re: Where was this? Author: Schuylkill_Valley Since no one has gotten this photo, I'm going to revile where this is. The photo was taken in 1931 at west Wood Junction, with the Lehigh Valley's Pottsville branch over head.

That's the place I was referring to. I just didn't know the railroad name for it. It is just below Mar Lin on the USGS map. I'm not sure why I thought the PRR was there! Gonut |
