Artifact: PRR freight bills
I have a thick ledgerbook from S.E. Pannebaker’s lumber mill in East Waterford, Pennsylvania. Stuffed into the pages of the book are all sorts of interesting papers, including these bills for shipping two carloads of lumber from East Waterford, through Juniata County on the narrow-gauge Tuscarora Valley Railroad to Port Royal, and then along the Pennsylvania Railroad to transfer to the Erie Railroad for final delivery to the Standard Hardwood Lumber Co. of Buffalo, New York.
None of these companies exist today–not even Standard Hardwood, whose address now seems to be the trackside location of a Laub warehouse.
