Help!
If you look at
ftp://ftp.dot.state.pa.us/public/pdf/BP ... heet_1.pdf
you will see the WB&E (labeled ERIE) running from Suscon via a big reverse curve, south of Yatesville to peter out north of the DH yard at Hudson.
But I understand it used to terminate at "Plains Junction", and its passenger trains used to run trackage over the CNJ Canal Branch to Wilkes-Barre.
Where was Plains Junction? Was it by the city boundary at Hilldale, and was there another WBE line to it from the Yatesville area?
This query is for the revised edition of the "Northeast" volume of the SPV atlas. I know there's a book out there on the WBE, but we will find it difficult to access a copy.
Thanks!
