I see that the R&N is again servicing the coal mine just north of Minersville. Good thing they didn't abandon the line as they wanted a few years ago.
Anyone know when that decrepit track on the other side of the station was abandoned? It left the RDG line, passed the station, went over a 2 track bridge over the creek (still there, and 2 tracks wow!), then went down the middle of Front St to the mine. There is appox 1000' of the track left. Anyone know why they left it in? It just stub ends where Front St starts now. I looked at the 1971 arial and it looks abandoned then.
