| Metrotrails posted Historic 1906 image in Thorndale Pa on the Pennsylvania Railroad, from the Hagley Museum collection. These coal wharfs were built about when the Philadelphia and Thorndale Branch, a low grade freight bypass, was put into service. Kevin Kelly: Are there any remnants left of the facility ie foundations? |

| Bill Gorman commented on Kevin's comment The pump house |
 |
| Bill Gorman commented on Kevin's comment There is only one piece of the foundation left and it can be seen from Lincoln Highway in West Caln Township on Lincoln Highway, Rt. 30. The only remaining structure left from the coal wharf is the pump house. The rest was removed last year for a housing development. Here is a pic of the pump house. |

| Bill Gorman commented on Kevin's comment Aerial view of where the pump house was. Look for the red arrow. |

| Bill Gorman commented on Kevin's comment Sorry for the multiple posts but it seems I can only do one at a time. Here is the remaining support and where it’s located. |
