W&LE Visits 84 Lumber
Author: jmbreitigan

I had some business in Bridgeville, PA. on Feb 13th. The sun was going to come out and the mostly cloudy weather was going to improve. I figured I would take my camera bag and scanner with me and hope something would be moving on the Rook Subdivision near Bridgeville. As luck would have it I heard that lite power would be coming out from Rook yard to pick up an empty center-beam car at 84 Lumber just outside Bridgeville off Millers Run road. I was able to get a few pictures.

1. W&LE #6993 & #3068 glide to a stop and the conductor is getting ready to open the gate.

2. After cutting #6993 away, it heads down the short siding.

3. Hooked up to the center-beam car and ready to pull away.

One more picture..................

Thanks for taking a look, John

Thanks for the pictures, it's good to see lumber yards using the rails.

Used to be every lumber yard had a spur, or access to a team track.
