EJ&S Freight Info Wanted
Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2017 9:15 am
Anybody got any personal or historical records regarding what types of freight and car counts the PM and later C&O handled to interchange for the East Jordan and Southern before its closure in 1962?
Was up in East Jordan last weekend and managed to run into a former Conductor who was on the last run of the EJ&S. Amazing stories to tell about traversing the 20 mile line to Bellaire and what kinds of freight that was hauled but not much in regards to numbers.
Besides the Iron Works, I noticed there is a Co-op in East Jordan next door to the depot that apparently received coal and other raw materials for sale to the residents of East Jordan. A couple of concrete ramps, reminiscent of a transload, are still in place near the Co-op.
Any info is appreciated.
