I've posted a pair  of EL bills, The first is for a PRR flat with an Army
half track. The load  originated on the PRR at Wilkes Barre PA and was
interchanged to the EL at  West Nanticoke PA, destination for the Tobyhanna
Army Depot. Since the  Bloomsburg Branch PRR interchange at Northumberland PA
handled the majority  of the PRR / (DL&W/EL) traffic on the branch I suspect
that the  Bloomsburg Branch West Nanticoke PA interchange handle traffic
similar to  this bill. That being traffic originating on the PRR in the
Wilkes Barre PA  area and destine for points on the DL&W/EL. Can anyone
provide  additional information?

The second bill was for a car routed from Fort  Dix, NJ to Tobyhanna PA Army
Depot. What is interesting is the date  October, 1964 and the PRR / EL
routing via Manunka Chunk (MKACHK). I  thought that the Manunka Chunk
interchange was destroyed in the 1955 flood  and was surprised to find this
routing on a 1964  bill.

Maybe you found the last car ever interchanged at Manunka Chunk.   LOL
