Eastern Railroad Discussion > Ardent Mills - Martin's Creek, PADate: 11/07/19 13:37 Ardent Mills - Martin's Creek, PA Author: birdman On my way to work in Stroudsburg, PA today, I saw that the Ardent Mills locomotive was shifting cars at the old Portland Cement Plant in Martin's Creek. The trackage once belonged to the Lehigh and New England Railroad.
