GREENWOOD COLLIERY

MP 4.9 The engine terminal and yard at Arlington (borough of Tamaqua) opened during 1925 and replaced the former Panther Creek Railroad terminal at Lansford. Larger, more powerful, motive power assigned to coal trains operating from the Panther Valley had eclipsed the capabilities of the old facility. Arlington Engine Terminal and yard served the railroad as its center of operations in the coal region. In this early 1970s view from the scale track and hump, the terminal has already taken on the look of long time abandonment. - February 1971, westward view, Robert Mohowski

The Arlington roundhouse ultimately survived its post abandonment deterioration and was eventually remodeled for light industry. The engine terminal was at the west end of the hump yard on the south side of the railroad. Greenwood Junction was on the north side of the yard and mainline opposite the engine terminal. -  southeastward view, March 28, 1988 - Robert F. Fischer/Warren C. Gearrick
