RE: (erielack) Steamtown Images--August 31, 2013 (C3236 thru C3240) and........
Regarding my question about a wye at Cayuga, I'm just trying to establish that a photo I saw at some some point in time with the turntable at Cayuga also had a south bound leg from the Keyser Valley Branch, which would have made it a full wye. But I still haven't fond anything conclusive.
