Trains This Day/Month in the Past

[Charlie B]

Here is a train order that I guess is for the local to work #2 track as far as MP 48 which is about 1 mile east of the Ohio-Pa State line.  The last siding on #2 at the time was the one that serviced Kenmar (Furniture) and Electrical Refractories which had made knob and tubes for the old wiring along with many other products. IN 1976 they were making the honeycomb that held the platinum for catalytic converters. Kenmar is long gone but ER Refractories is still going but no longer is served by rail. This siding was at MP 49.2 (Approx). There was one more siding on track 2 at MP 49.9 that served a lumber company, Adamson Tank Co. and A feed mill, all are gone now. We no longer have any business that is served by rail in East Palestine.
