Mill Creek Junction
After finishing up at Yuengling 2532 goes around the Pottsville leg of the wye on the way home to West Cressona.
Continuing in my subject/slideshow fashion we'll take a look at the R&N around Pottsvile. They serve what I think is still a team track and 2 Yuengling breweries around town. The Pottsville Branch from Port Clinton ends at Pottsville Junction, a switch which is probably technically in Mount Carbon. There is about a half mile spur from there north towards downtown Pottsville while the Middleport Runner (the former Passenger Main as this was from Port Clinton to Tamaqua) goes about 10 or 12 miles to Middleport. About 2 miles up the runner past Pottsville Junction is Mill Creek Junction and the connection(s) with the Saint Clair Runner to Yuengling's brewery at the south end of the old Reading Co. St. Clair yard in Port Carbon. The track to this brewery had been abandoned but was put back in in 2002, a great opportunity as the arch bridges you'll see in this sequence are on the wyes of Mill Creek Junction which was the relaid track.
