Welsh Photo

[NW Mailing List]

Alex,

Thanks for the insight. Is the image taken from the north side on the mainline looking south, as the mainline runs east-west? I know the Dan's Branch, at least currently, runs off on the main to the south under the Hwy 52 overpass.

Eckman is located between Keystone on the east and Landgraff on the west. The Pulaski Iron Company, Eureka Coal & Coke Company, and Shawnee Coal & Coke Company had mines at Eckman. Eckman Yard was located between Keystone on the east and Eckman on the west.

The picture shows the original Pulaski Iron Company store built in 1897. To the left of the store is the Pulaski Iron Company/Eckman recreation hall and theater. The train station was located to the left of the theater.

The hoppers behind the store are on Dans Branch and in front of the remains of the Pulaski Iron Company coke ovens, which were closed in the late 1920s. The tipple was located on Dans Branch, but to the right and out of the picture.
