Re: (erielack) Pocono Chrysler Facility

Scott,

     According to my notes, the Lead Track to the subject facility shown on 
Page 19 
of my book subsequently branched out into 4 stub tracks with a capacity of 8 
cars
with access protected by gates. Old Track 3 from Mount Pocono to Pocono 
Summit 
formed a Runaround Track with a capacity of 22 cars and a Tail Track with a 
capacity 
of 10 cars plus 2 locomotives. Due to limited sight distance around Mammy 
Heater's 
Curve, the railroad installed a light and horn signal system for crews that 
switched this 
facility to pass signals. Unfortunately, this horn sounded very similar to 
horns on the 
nearby fire house and resulted in some perplexing moments I have been told.
