After watching the crew change out their lead unit from 3643 to the 3000 we headed out to set up for our first shot. We were surprised by these units headed to Carbondale which arrived before our train to our surprise.

The owners of the Scranton Lace Factory understood the benefits of early 20th century corporate welfare, and strongly encouraged employees to take advantage of their recreational provisions because it took them away from meeting in groups to form unions outside of the company. Scranton Lace installed bowling alleys on the premises during the height of the employee unionization movement in the United States. The facility also contained a gymnasium, a barber and a fully staffed infirmary. Scranton Lace employed more than 1,400 and was the world’s largest producer of Nottingham lace. Production stopped forever in 2002.

In 1900 when Miss Mary Eliza Scranton offered the Madison Library Association the use of a new, completely furnished, library building which she had built on the corner of Wall Street adjoining her family’s old home. The offer was accepted, books moved in, and in 1901 the Association dissolved and the E.C. Scranton Memorial Library was incorporated.
The original library building was designed by Henry Bacon, an eminent New York architect who later designed the Lincoln Memorial. A New York firm of “contracting designers” was in charge of the architecture, construction, decorations and furnishings, the total cost of which was about $30,000.
The library was added to in 1989 and again in 2020 (along Wall St.)

Upon this decrepit staircase, the very essence of neglect seems to manifest, each step a testament to the decay wrought by the inexorable passage of time. The railing, a serpent of iron, rusted and adorned with the sickly yellow patina of corrosion, writhes upward like some grotesque vine clinging to the remnants of a long-dead civilization.
The stairs descend into the gloom, each one an altar to obsolescence, coated in the detritus of a bygone epoch. The fractured tiles below speak of a mosaic of madness, a pattern that could suggest a sinister design to any who dare look too closely.
Light filters through the grime-streaked windows, casting a pallid glow that seems almost otherworldly in its reluctance to disturb the enshrouding darkness. This is a place where the air is thick with the ghosts of despair, and one feels the oppressive weight of ancient eyes that might still watch from the unseen corners, their gaze as cold and unyielding as the steel underfoot.
