Probably something secondary with the small wheel while the primary power is off a sluice raceway that runs inside/through/under the building.

Nice, a far cry from today's weather. Haven't been fishing for a few years.

Every so often I get the urge to go fishing for a basket of bluegills......

I'm pretty certain I have been there , as a youth, on some of my earliest road adventures.

Also, there is a stretch of Route 11, along the Tioughnioga River, just south of Cortland, NY, very much like that. As Rt81 roars along, parallel , atop a hillside above Rt11, walking and driving there feels a little bit like going back in time (provided a person has the imagination for it.)

If not a RR hotel, that's a mighty impressive building for a small town. Division point?

Huntingdon was a major center then, and the PRR exchanged with the H&BT, etc. there; lots of rail traffic still along the Juniata River...

Interesting photograph. That would be on today's NS Lurgan Branch. Back in the WM days, there were a few pretty substantial wrecks by both WM and P&R trains.

An earlier incarnation of this thread had a series of Laughlin RPPC's that documented crashes by both lines.

My mention of eye problems has been too often but when I first saw the above photo my thought was that is a type of loco I have never before seen.
After the second look I realized it was a head on crash. :oops: :oops:
