The Northern Cambria barn is north of Carrolltown, in a little burg known as
St. Benedict. It housed an electric motor repair facility (for mining
equipment) the last time I saw it. Remarkable, isn't it, how this building
AND Southern Cambria's barn just west of Mineral Point remain in service.

In the interest of being factual, that's "Barnesboro"
Next time I'm out in that area I'll try to remember to get some pictures
of what I assume to be the ex-Northern Cambria barn
