I am in the process of more track work revisions for my layout and have two questions. At East Stroudsburg, in the early 70's there is a small siding coming off of main track 3 on the north side between Analomink Street and Broad Street. Going westbound it is a trailing point switch. There is a road which parallels this track so there isn't any room there for a building. Was this some sort of a team track? Bill Sheppard's track diagram book shows it in place in the early 70's. Was it still used then? Second question. At Pocono Summit, just east of the Summit Ave grade crossing at the station, in some photos, I see a wooden platform next to the track. There is a photo in EL in Color vol 5 on pg 67 which shows a westbound train in 1964 passing this platform. What was this platform? It isn't low level like a station platform, it does ramp up like a loading platform. There are a total of 4 tracks there in the photo too. Cramers siding and 3 others. I am guessing that the track at the platform is a siding. The Sheppard track diagram book doesn't show it so I am assuming that that all might be gone by the time I am modeling.
