The image was poached from ebay, mostly shows the Calypso yard signal bridge and a portion of the yard, it's a pretty nice photo, kinda reminds of something that could be a Clarence Felker.

That would be a logical guess. Unfortunately, more of the LV trackage used to be the mainline. I am thinking "coal country" here-maybe the mainline to Mt Carmel. Just my .02 worth.

Top/Gracedale to Wilkes-Barre.     Of course, predecessor RR's like the EC&N, GI&S, SC and the L&M, etc., of whom the LV "absorbed" their mainlines, could also be considered "former mainlines", this reader took the clue to mean LVRR-constructed trackage that had become secondary in nature in the post 1900 era.

A rare one indeed.   TOWANDA   Keith Logged gfluck1 Historian Posts: 2693 Re: Guess The Location - 2016   Towanda.PA_819x408.jpg - 34143 Bytes « Reply #79 on: Feb 12th, 2016, 11:30pm » Keith nailed it, the photo is from the "Susquehanna & New York Railroad; Preserving the Memory of a Ghost Railroad" website     http://snyrr.com/category/locations/towanda/page/3/   Last week’s “Wordless Wednesday” is a shot of the LV interchange at North Towanda. The Federal-style building in the distance is listed as a warehouse on my copy of a 1927 Sanborn map, and may date to the days of the Pennsylvania Canal. Note the long string of Lehigh Valley hoppers on the interchange tracks.   Refer to the red circle on the attached diagram to provide the location in which the photo depicts.
