I just came across your 2003 thread regarding locations of the old narrow gauge railroads around the Beaverdale area in PACambria-L Archives on the RootsWeb website. Having lived in Dunlo all my life and run on the old railbeds for many years, I've been trying to find an accurate map of all the logging rail lines in the area. The maps/data in "Stemwinders..." is good but not exactly accurate. And maps that I've seen aren't detailed enough. Do any of you have any other information or sources of info that is above the "Stemwinders..." series?? Thanks for your help. I certainly appreciate it. Dave Valko
Check in the Historical Society. They have a set of red pamphlets that identify all the logging and coal railroads in the state which were mostly narrow gauge. [The only one that became a regular railroad was the C & I.] The individual booklets are mostly by single counties. They include hand drawn maps and a lot of information. Sorry I can't remember the name of the author or name of the series. If you can't go there, call or e-mail and they could copy the pages that might help you. I think there was information about the south of the county, but I was only interested in the north.
