The Cornwall Railroad
Loading...
Uploaded by cwlrr on Feb 1, 2008
Incorporated in 1850 as the North Lebanon Railroad and renamed to the Cornwall Railroad in 1870, this little line had a long and prosperous life shipping ore from the great Cornwall Ore Banks to Lebanon, Pa. Eventually with the decrease in the ore shipped from Cornwall, the little line fell into hard times before being acquired by the Reading Company in 1964. The Reading ran this line until shortly after Hurricane Agnes flooded the mine shafts thus sealing 231 continuous years of mining and the need for a rail line into Cornwall.

A really nice video and I appreciate the work that went into it BUT I wish that you had not chosen to start each frame with a blur- it really takes away from what would have been a super presentation. I couldn't watch all of it- I started to get dizzy.
