RE: (erielack) Steamtown Images--August 31, 2013 (C3236 thru C3240)

C3237-C3240 are all definitely Cayuga Breaker and the Von Storch shaft area just south of Cayuga near Theodore St. Evidence this shot of Cayuga:

It appears Taber's old road mile post for Cayuga (149) in the DL&W 20th Century Vol 2 book is incorrect. Based on these photos, Cayuga is somewhere around 147.
