[PRCo] Re: Carrick CH

[Edward H. Lybarger]

 Ray,
Attached are two items.  The first is a news item relating to the opening of
the admin bldg. In 1925; the second is a 1938 revision to the track drawing.
The revision noted that tracks 1 and 2 had been added; that was the reason
for the revision, but no date was specified.

Now you know as much as I do!

Ed

Ed, do you know anything about the Carrick CH? My questions are; the picture
Barb sent me indicates that as you look into the Car House, tracks 7,8,9 and
10 lead into the Car House. That would leave tracks 1 to 6 on the left. It
looks like at least 3 maybe 4 tracks are to the right side of the CH. A
later picture shows tracks 14,15,16,17 into the barn with maybe two tracks
to the right.

Any idea when the yard was expanded? Also, the house in the foreground looks
to be located where the expansion would have taken place, what is your
opinion? Was the house possibly the PRCo office for Carrick at one time? Was
the substation built at a later date?

Thanks Ray
