Viewing Album:  Conrail Watsontown Secondary/Industrial Track
 
By:Jim Appleman
Dates:4/1/1976 - 6/9/1995
Album Info:Until the portion of the line from MP 14 to Berwick was abandoned in the spring of 1978, the line was the Watsontown-Berwick Secondary. Following abandonment of that 25 miles of track, the line from MP 11.5 to End of Track became the Watsontown Industrial track.

Jerseytown tunnel
Title:  Jerseytown tunnel
Description:  From the front platform of a GP9, this view is looking west through what was a tunnel completed in 1887 and daylighted in 1929. The bridge in this view carried aptly named Tunnel Road over the track after daylighting, and an oil company pipeline was also exposed as it crossed above the track on this side of the bridge. After abandonment and dismantling of the line, the right-of-way was filled in for Tunnel Road to cross. Now only the name Tunnel Road carries on the legacy of what actually existed when that road actually crossed a railroad tunnel. Date approximate.
