Re: (erielack) Location??

It's possible that it could have been Hawley but it looks a bit overgrown to 
be there, however by that time, overgrowth might have been the norm.  My guess 
is the Saco depot in Wayne County, a few miles northeast of Dunmore.  Saco 
was a location where Erie stored rolling stock in need of repairs.  The cars 
were then taken to Dunmore via Rock Jct.  Saco was near Gravity.  After the 
merger, I'm honestly not sure if Saco was still used for that purpose.
 
By the way, MIke, can you tell me where you found that the line was severed 
in 12/62?  I recall EL Geeps (in Erie paint) on the Wyoming beyond 1962, 
hauling empty hoppers south towards Avoca.  The closest that I can come to the 
severing of the division is the early 70s as I have the Official Guide from 1974 
that shows the line disconnected.
 
Regarding the 1200 series, many of the lower numbers were the only power for 
many years on the Scranton and Jessup branches.  The Wyoming itself also had 
RS', but I never saw them on the branches.  To define "lower numbers" do we 
mean below 1212 or 1214, for example?  Just using those numbers as examples.
