Twin Shaft Foundations / Work at Pittston Junction

+ Larger Font | + Smaller Font

Here are the last views of the Twin Shaft breaker foundations on a drive-by of the Pittston Junction. The trees and brush were removed, land graded for future expansion due to the Marcellus Shale Gas Drilling.

The Reading and Northern may build an office here in the future.

As of June all traces of the Twin Shaft Breaker have been removed.
