and he notes - There was another pan at Forks Creek.
A great find! The four photos at Waterford provide the most detail especially the ramps and beginning of pan signals. The NYC signal masts were taller but the lamps seem to be the same. It's interesting that each of the pan facilities appear to be from the same plan and looking through the rest of the photos, the coal docks were pretty much the same too. One possible reason is they were all built at or around the same time.Makes modeling that line easy - one model represents them all! Interesting also is the later pictures showing the pans and lineside buildings long gone with for the most part, the area returned to wilderness. One quick way to model the scene would be to put in a couple of weed grown foundations and maybe a rusted water scoop and call it the site of former track pan! FYI in addition to the five pans in Ontario, the MCRR operated four more in Michigan: Four Mile Lake (Chelsea), Marshall, Lawton and Avery (between Galien and Three Oaks. On the Central's mainline, 19 pans were located an average of 40 miles apart (or from scheduled stops such as Albany, Buffalo, Toledo etc.). Since trains passed at all hours of the day (and night), they were situated in the boonies to minimize disturbing the locals. I visited the Tivoli site many years ago and it was a good stretch from the town. From Harmon pans were found at: Clinton Point and Tivoli on the Hudson. Schenectady, Yosts, Rome, Seneca River, Palmyra and Churchville between Albany and Buffalo. Between Buffalo and Chicago pans were located at: Wende, Silver Creek and Westfield in NY. Springfield in Pa. Painsville, Huron and Stryker in Ohio. Corunna, Ginsmore, Lydick and Chesterton in Indiana.
