Eldora

[Don Galt]

[Time to get this exchange out of the closet.

It started with my sending to a couple of friends a picture taken looking
north from PA State Highway 837, presumably down the interurban right of
way in the direction of Black Diamond.

I also posed the question, where had Eldora Park been located?]

Among the responses, this from Jim Holland:

>> This photo won't be much more help but in *PCC From Coast to Coast*,
page 177, bottom right is a photo of 1717 going past the long abandoned
Eldora.  I would guess that Eldora was north of 
your photo someplace, but exactly where, I don't know!
        Basically, Eldora was somewhere between Black Diamond Junction and
Simmit!  You already know 
that, right?!!!!!!! <<

I don't have "Coast to Coast" but somewhere - can't remember where - I have
seen a picture of Eldora Park.

But wait a darn minute, Jim. The only clue I have is the unscaled map of
sidings that you sent me: despite your enhancements it is hard to read, but
I would judge that it shows Summit (just a spot, not a station), Eldora and
Eldora Park bunched close together, with Glendenning something like halfway
between Eldora Park and Black Diamond.

Anyway, I'd hazard the guess that Eldora stop would have been just north of
the highway overbridge - what better location for a station? - and thus
barely below the summit, with Eldora Park very close by, perhaps just
around the bend in the picture.

Okay, experts.....
