Simmons Creek Branch

[NW Mailing List]

In the Bluestone book (Schust, Cooper, Bowen and French), it states that
the Simmons Creek Branch was "removed" in the mid 1980's.  Can anyone
narrow this time frame down any further?  Also, are there any remnants of
the line or the mines it serviced still around today?  The book mentions
bridges 1211-18 on the main/West branch and 1223-27 on the East branch.  I
was wondering if any of the abutments/masonary is still standing in or near
the creek crossings?  Any concrete footings still left to indicate where
the tipples stood?
