5. Pulaski Anthracite Tipple at Parrott ... ?

Sun May 23 10:22:46 EDT 2021

Uh-oh. I think I might have been wrong about this tipple being the one at Parrott. The houses and treeline receding off to the right just don't look right for the one that was east of White Rock Curve.

If there was another tipple in Parrott proper - just a bit west of the trestle at Back Creek - that might work with the scenery in the photo.

In the future I shall refrain from quick replies late at night... .

As the subject of this post appeared to be a question, I'll answer it in the affirmative.

I recognize the bend in the river as being at "White Rock Curve" on Rt. 600, exactly 1/2 mile "east" of where I grew up. That was at the next trestle westbound where the line crossed Dry Branch

The photo of the tipple was taken looking "west". The rusted remains of the siding where the cars are being loaded are visible in some old posed shots of the Powhatan Arrow. I have at least one here where the old siding and power (and telegraph?) lines hadn't yet been airbrushed out. Those photos were shot looking east.

Thanks for posting this photo. The tipple was long gone by the time I was born.

Sincerely,

Vince Albert
