First time seeing these Lehigh Valley railroad Pottsville branch remains! 

Hello everyone. First let me correct my dates from this video. The Lehigh Valley railroad Pottsville branch was built in 1889, not 1869 like a said in the video. Wow! This is a cool location. We have both a culvert and bridge remains. With the height of the bed this had to have been for farmers access. I apologize for not knowing the history of land before its current use. This is now a large tree farm in Schuylkill County PA. After the town of Rauches the remains of the bed cut through tree farm land on their way to the town of Frisbie. This branch was built by the Lehigh Valley to tap into their coal interests in the Pottsville and Minersville areas. Passenger service would be available on this line but coal was the money maker. Special thanks to Todd ‪@ThirdHandle‬ for showing me this spot. Check out his channel for a great video about a pocket watch he recently discovered with his son. Thank you for watching. 6/30/24
