description

Summary

Significance: The remains of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Pier No. 6: Grain Trestle are significant because of the information they provide about grain and coal loading techniques of a major railroad; because Pier No. 6 was the only coal pier in New York/New Jersey Harbor in the first quarter of the 20th century; for the technology involved in incline and elevated pier construction; and for information about the configuration of a ca. 1900 freight yard of a major coal handling railroad in the New York/New Jersey Harbor.

Survey number: HAER NJ-50

Nothing Found.

Breaker of the Chauncy (Pennsylvania) Colliery, where a 15 year old breaker-boy was smothered to death and another badly burned, Jan. 7, 1911. (Photo of newspaper clipping #1946.) The Coroner told me that the McKee boy was but a few days past his 15th birthday when he was killed, and that the evidence seemed to show that he was at work in another breaker before his 14th birthday. (He will report to us on that point, further.) Location: Chauncy, Pennsylvania
