5. Pulaski Anthracite Tipple at Parrott ... ?

[NW Mailing List]

Mr. Blackstock is correct.

The image needed to be flipped, it is looking east from a westbound train.

Vince this is the mine at Parrott.

It was a rather small building 8x20 built in 1886.  That would place the mine just west of the old station.  The mine and station had separate station numbers in the 20's. No idea why they had another station number for the mine.

I have at least one here where the old siding and power (and telegraph?) lines hadn't yet been airbrushed out. Those photos were shot looking east.
