Eldora

>>      Would you possibly be thinking of *Glen Echo* park in MD served by
CTC of DC? <<

???????????

Nope, I've ridden the streetcar past Glen Echo. Different river, different
livery. And even Pennsylvania, which has a town named Righty-eight, doesn't
have a destination named Cabin John.

If this question was occasioned by my reference to "Glendenning" - well,
there it is on your map.

>> The photo in *PCC Coast to Coast* shows 1717 "near the site of the long
closed Eldora Park" but does not give the direction of the car.  It is on
tangent double track and appears to curve to the left in the background so
the car is not heading north of the location in your photo or the curve in
the background would be to the right.  Wonder what "long closed" means -
after the war, during the war, or before the war? <<

Your logic appears faultless, and don't have the photo myself for
comparison. Though somewhere, somewhere, I've seen a similar picture. Okay,
I don't have my heart set on any particular location for a long-gone
amusement park.

But answer me this: if Eldora station (not Eldora Park) wasn't located at
the Rte. 837 crossing, what was? Not Summit - that wasn't a stop. No stop
at all there? Pshaw!

C'mon, experts!!! Archivists???

Whatever. It was great fun tooling through the area, even on a harried
schedule.
