 I had a chance today to consult the small scale (large detail) PRCo map
book from 1925.  The spur is shown leading to a "slag bin."  That begs the
question, perhaps, of whether the slag was coming or going.  Any thoughts?
Is that a conveyor across Route 88?  Exactly what is the east terminus?

Attached is a jpeg from Penn Pilot dated 1937. This gives a view of the
bldg. You can see possibly where the track came off the main line. Something
a walkway or conveyor is crossing route 88 from the bldg?
Any guesses ED?

Thanks
