Creighton:
I was looking through some old Leigh Valley books I have ( probably the
same as yours, some relative of Bruce Marcham's) I don't think the Leigh
Valley went past Besemer, if your talking about the trestle that crossed Six
Mile Creek, and later Brooktondale Rd., about 1 1/2 south of the estate
property.

This BP connection list continues to blow my mind. Me too, I've just been
reading The Gangly Country Cousin describing Lehigh valley's Auburn
division. A large trestle spanned the Brooktondale valley and landed near
the old Follet Mansion in Besemer. I remember my Grandmother Rutherford
taking the train form Ithaca to NYC. When fact checking with my mother she
told me grandma was the only passenger on the train and the last passenger
to ride on that line. Book edited by John Marcham. Also living nearby, on
Ellis Hollow Rd, Katy Payne , who studies low frequency comunication of
whales and elephants. I'm sure she could help Ken with his thumpr project.
Setting steel today, thankfully the wind kept down cheers creighton
