Today I took a couple vacation hours and spent some time at the Pennsylvania National Guard Military Museum.

I came away with some kool scans. Enjoy!
Troops staged prior to transport a few miles from the train station to Indiantown Gap Military Reservation. Photo taken from inside the back of a deuce and a half.

This drawing is the modifications made by the Army to facilitate rail operations supporting Indiantown Gap. Today, there is barely a trace of anything, but for the foot prints of what used to be there. The tracks, station, warehouse are all gone.

These are the detail drawings for the above plan.

 Very interesting finds there, RDC. Thanks for sharing.

My pleasure! I had a blast today at the museum ... I'll be going again because there are more photos and rumors of another plan drawing there that extended a spur right into Indiantown Gap Military Reservation, but it was never built. I aim to find that drawing and post more photos.
