Jim Thorpe had an interesting engine house with angled stalls that backed up to a rock ledge.
Is there any drawings or pictures of this facility. Thanks

I am a bit late (like almost 6 months), but what a great website. I've always enjoyed going to the Jim Thorpe area and trying to figure out what is was like back in the day.
Thank you to GoldenArm for posting the link, and thank you to the website host for gathering all those maps and photos for us all to view.
