Bernie Feltman General The track between the trains appears to be stub-ended - very interesting. Pocket track for power? 1/11/2014 9:56:59 PM
Tom Beckett General It's amazing to look at all the facilities that existed then, realizing that most of it is no longer there. 10/29/2015 2:31:20 AM
Paul Woodring General Stub siding was for Westbound set-out sleepers. There was an Eastbound one as well at the other end of the platform. Operational note: Notice that the PRR-owned track between S. Akron yard and JO Tower is being used to route the trailer train through the station area. Seems like an uncommon move. 7/10/2016 1:56:09 PM
