Re: (erielack) E-Burg and Pocono Summit Question.

Bob:
    OK, that makes sense.  I thought it might have been something like that. 
Is that a main track in front of the platform then?  I am trying to picture 
what the early 70's track arrangement looked like there.  I am thinking that 
there was Cramers siding on the north side of the main, 1 main, 2 main and 
then the track in front of the baggage platform was removed.  Sound right?
