This is a section of an 1891 USGS Topographical map showing this railroad line. Development has made exploring this line extremely difficult as only parts of it are left. A newer GPS program I am now using called "ExpertGPS" has finally allowed me to put these pieces together. These pictures were taken over several trips and by using this program with this map overlayed plotting data. It now makes it possible to determine where this railroad line was. There are other roads, and such has made hunting this down very hard.

This is a 1923 road map from PennDot's site. It shows the line comes close to Route 247 but never crossed it. This was an important piece of the puzzle to determine the southern section which was abandoned first.

This is a section of a 1946 USGS Topographical map. This shows by this time the railroad line was already cut back to the site of the Dolph Colliery. This is the site of the present day Olyphant Mine Fire. The work involved to contain this underground mine fire has also disrupted the area.

Eddy Creek Crossing (Southern end)

Eddy Creek crossing (Northern side)

With the growth down, I went back to look at the Eddy Creek crossing to see if the railbed was still present from Eddy Creek to where it was developed into an access road. A section of it was found despite the heavy growth which made part of it impassable.
