RE: (erielack) Steamtown Images--August 31, 2013 (C3236 thru C3240)
Interesting that the "slow" track is signaled east, good catch Bob. Which means that there almost certainly was, at one point, a south/east leg of a wye at Cayuga Jct. Perhap it was signaled east for traffic the Brisbin Colliery to the south of Cayuga/Von Storch.
Very different operation from the EL days, that's for sure.
