The Depot in Ladd is the old Milw Rd Depot I think Sits out by the
Mountain(gob pile where the mine was)It may have also been used by the NYC
although in the later years of the NYC operation to Zearing they used the
Drawbridge operator to copy orders. I remember issuing orders to him for the
train to go to Zearing where they use to go over the Q main and down wye track
and cross in the CTC at the east end of the Zearing yard. USe to be tracks on
both sides of the main and power (CTC) switches on both ends

Steve,
My last trip into Ladd there was a depot at the north end of
town off of the main street. Would that have been the Q or
Milw. Road depot? Did the CO&P have a storefront depot?

> The CO&P just ran into town from the south and after a dispute with the
town fathers cut back to the city boundary. In my research at the Ladd Lib.
the older lady at the desk said at one them there were 32 pool turns out of
the Ladd Roundhouse on the Milw Road. They used the NYC bridge to access
the coal mines on the south side of the river(the overhead crossing at HOWE
just east of De Pue) CO&P Had no interchange with the Milw Road I have found
