New Work On Gauntlet

August 24, 2009

New Railings/Platforms

It looks like they are putting on new Railings/Platforms on the Gauntlet. No idea on how far they are going to extend them. It is going to change the look a little.

Heard rumors about this. First they were going to do it, then they were not. There was an incident were a train went into Emergancy near the bridge. Then someone said what would have happened if it went into Emergancy ON the bridge ?

New railing and platforms being added as a safety measure.

Tidbit :

 
From 1991 CONRAIL Timetable :

Taylor Secondary Track 

Distance from Hoboken 

136.7  TAYLOR (D&H Railway) 
136.7  BLS MINOOKA 
139.7  OLD FORGE 
142.8  PITTSTON JCT. 
  (Lehigh Sec and 
  Pocono Northeast RR)  

(Why is the distance 
listed as distance 
from Hoboken, since
trains have not run 
to Hoboken in many,
 many years ??? 
 
It was a hold over from the Erie Lackawanna Times Table. )
