I could not locate the pit or its foundation. But they have either dug it up and filled it in or just filled it in.
In the Google areal view, the turn table pit is there. I saw them on Street view but wasn't sure it was still there. I entered into Marienneville and found the stalls. South of Marienneville, lots off grass growing on the ROW. The condition of the ROW was freshly converted into Marienneville. From this point south to Clarion, no more tracks in the ground. "They" are pulling up rails and converting it into a motorbike trail. I think it’s a cutter.Īs I moved south along Watson Farm Rd, I eventually found out why the cutter above was where it was. I assumed that it was landlocked because all crossings were removed. Anyways, I came out on Watson Farm Rd and headed south. Even when I took Old Lamont Rd it was in far better shape than many asphalt roads. Looking at it from Google SAT, I wasn't quite sure what to expect or if I'd have to turn around. This may have either been a logging road or a fire road. I got off of 66 near Rt948 south of Russel City. Lots of overgrowth and sizible trees on it. Without my Garmin GPS, it would have been hard to spot the ROW. South of Kane, there is still rail in the ground. A really good painting though.Īfter studying the route, I actually followed other roads instead of 66. One painting really got my attention until I saw the asking price. I went into the depot and they had some RR stuff.
I entered Kane and parked at the depot and then walked around the town. All or most of the rails are still in the ground. Yesterday the weather cooperated and I made the run.Īfter turning off 219 on to RT 6W, I found the RR used by the KK. I later found out via the PA forum than the Knox and Kane RR followed Rt66 from Kane to Clarion. I picked Rt66 out of Kane initially because I thought that this was part of the famous RT66. A more rural and scenic section of the railroad. Having just drivien the route, I wish we had taken it out of marienneville. My dad and I rode the KK around 15 years ago out of Kane. So, consider it something like, I"ve returned and am reporting back to the NY constituency. After driving nearly 400 miles, I wanted more than 2 replies. Before you all chew my butt off for posting this in NYS, consider that the NYS forum is far busier than the PA forum.
