After a short visit with Ed today, I took a ride over to Tylerdale to see 
what I could see.  The access up from the trailer park is heavily marked 
with no trespassing signs and was a quagmire.  Access along the old right of 
way from the north would be possible by foot as the gate to the path was 
unlocked, but there again a quagmire and not a wide enough gate to get the 
Jeep through.  Normally this area would be frozen over, but with the 
temperatures hovering in the mid 50's for the past few weeks, nothing here 
is frozen.

The building is still in existence, but there were too many trees to make a 
decent photograph of it.  I was surprised at how tall it was.  All 4 walls 
are still standing.

Fear not though, I will get there and when I am finished in New York and 
then Ford City I will have lots to add to the preservation effort.

Anyone want to see a recent picture of the carhouse in Indiana, PA?
