EBT considering rebuilding Coles Valley Branch
| October 27, 2020 03:03PM |
Hi,
The EBT has announced that it is considering reopening the Coles Valley Branchline. If accomplished, this would create a second train ride route from Rockhill Furnace up to Joller with its scenic mountain views.

Here is an online photo of a mine at Joller with an EBT hopper being loaded in the 1940s.

I have added a map with a color circle located adjacent to Joller at the end of the branchline.
