RE: (erielack) Turning the calendar...

You are right in correcting me.  The train is on what was the former
w/bound main.  My fingers didn't type what I was thinking.

Ed, that's a very good question, but are you sure about the train being
on the EB main (which would make this a WB train)? Is that not MT
Tammany in the background, which would make ths an EB train on the WB
main? In any event, assuming the photo caption is correct, there must
have been a short segment of double track or siding retained after the
single-tracking of the late 50's and removed early in the EL years. This
was discussed in depth here last year but I don't recall the specifics.

I need  some assistance on understanding this photo.  It was taken after
the cut-off was single tracked but there appears to be two tracks
through the Gap.  Was one a siding at this time?  The TM's are running
on the  former e/bound main.  By the time the early 60s had come, the
line was  single tracked all the way to Bell's Bridge.

I don't have the photo in front of me,but from memory of having looked
briefly at the calendar a year ago, the train is in the area of the
siding need Slateford.  It extended from a mile or so inside NJ west to
Slateford  Jct.
