Your getting two track alterations confused, and apparently you missed my
post on 6/5/09:
And before the single tracking between Slateford Jct and Bells Bridge
during the summer of 1958.

It has to be after 1955 and Diane. The track configuration under I80 is a
dead give away since it is only one track through there.

and my article that appeared in Vol16 No 2.of the Diamond.
Single tracking after the1955 flood ONLY involved Bells Bridge its self.
BTW ( not Bells Gap Bridge ). It returned to double track east of the
bridge around Tinker Town Crossing, thus double track continued through
Delaware Water Gap Station and the Water Gap its self after 1955 and all flood
damage was repaired.
The single tracking between Bells Bridge and Port Morris progressed West
to East starting in 1958.

I have watched the Phoebe footage a number of times & I have these
questions & observations. The Bells Gap Bridge is replaced with a single track &
Broadhead Creek just west of the bridge is all rip rapped up which was
done after Hurricane Diane in 1955-but the Water Gap footage showed the line
as double tracked. I thought that the GAP was single tracked right after
Diane? Also the State road Route 191 overhead at Gravel Place is not rebuilt
yet (notice the hanging approach on the left side), as Diane washed that out.
I thought as a rebuild after Diane the line was single tracked from
Slateford Interlocking-just west of our DL's Slateford Jct yard interchange point
with NS to the west side of the Bells Gap Bridge by Rock-Tenn CP Bells
Gap-and both control points were remote from the E. Stroudsburg tower? If
there is double track at Water Gap station how does it get to single track at
the Bells Gap Bridge, because in post Diane times the interlocking for the
single track was west of the Bells Gap Bridge! Maybe there are two different
trips spliced together? There are two different scenes at Cresco? Anyways
how did it get from double track to single east of the Bells Gap Bridge
over Broadhead Creek? Also in the GAP scenes the row does not seem to be
hurricane ravaged &recently rebuilt-remember the Rt 191 bridge isn't replaced
over the DL at Gravel Place?
