The yard here sits 0.39 miles from the centre of this borough, which puts it inside the place rather than out on a haul road, and the North American Rail Network maintained by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics records it under Norfolk Southern.
Two miles from here is another state
That yard sits almost on the New York line. The nearest operation of any kind is Porter’s Pit about 2.3 miles north-east at Waverly, with three people on the books — and Waverly is in New York, not Pennsylvania.
So the working radius out of this borough is a two-state one from the first mile, which is unusual on these pages and matters more than it sounds: a lane crossing that line changes registration regime, posting authority and inspection rules at once.
After that it is a long way to anything
Beyond those two the map empties out. The next yards in the same rail network data are Owego, about 15.2 miles north-east, and Elmira, about 17.2 miles north-west.
The stone is further still: the Lombardo Quarry about 20.3 miles south-east at Leraysville with five people, Edger Sand and Gravel about 20.4 miles north at Spencer with five, and the Sandt Quarry about 21.9 miles south-east at Wyalusing with eight.
Three of those six are in New York. This is thin country, and it is the reason a seller here should not assume somebody is driving past anyway.
A truck out of here did real distance rather than short repeated cycles — the 15.9 miles to Towanda is a near neighbour by local standards — so the engine hours and the odometer tend to agree with each other, which is not true everywhere in this state.
- Nobody comes out this far.
Across the 15.2 miles to Owego and the 20.3 miles to the Lombardo Quarry they turn up steadily.
