Here's a question for a Bloomsburg Branch neophyte...

I've mentioned in the past that we like to go out to Knoebels Amusement Park in Elysburg, PA. Driving down from Route 80, you parallel the former Bloom across the river from Catawissa, PA. I assume the little hamlet at the north end of this stretch is Rupert? Where exactly was the station/yard area? The former RDG (I assume) girder bridge is just south of the hamlet (with some cabooses displayed on it now), and it swings to the north, but the north end of the span is hanging in the air - where did the RDG track go from here to meet the EL?

If anyone's talented with drawing, I'd love to see a sketch of the track in the area....
