(Satellite)

Al Pelham posted two images with the comment: "Beatrice Alabama, north of Tunnel Springs. The fb page noted bottom left has numerous wonderful pictures of L&N and other history of the area."

Frankie Rogers: I helped remove the Semaphore signal from Beatrice , it was donated to a RR museum in Montgomery!

Al Pelham: Frankie Rogers a friend of mine bought that collection as well as Union Station in Montgomery. Part of the collection was featured on and bought by American Pickers.

I presume the rectangle by the tracks was the depot.

This is the same area. I've never before seen a mistake this severe in the topo map server.

Once again, it is too hard to remove the pit foundations so we can see part of the arc of the roundhouse.

Robert Daly posted four photos with the comment: "Two preserved stations in Sheffield PA. The longer building was completed by the Philadelphia and Erie (PRR) in the early 1860s. The other was the station and offices of the narrow gauge Tionesta Valley Railway, which ceased operations in the 1930s."

Pennsy went east and north of town. The Tionesta Valley and Sheffield & Tionesta railroads went south of town. Since the primary purpose of the two southern routes was probably to serve coal mines, I labeled them "rrIndustrial" instead of "rrOther."

A satellite map shows that the Pennsy route still exists. As of this 2014 map, the route was owned by the Buffalo & Pittsburgh Railroad. (<GWI> means that Genesee & Wyoming is the parent organization.)

This was the first map I found, but I could not figure out how to turn on the Non-Class I Lines.

I also found this map which PennDOT claims it is keeping up to date.
