SOLVED - Artillery Park WB

There is no northern field operation in the PA State Mine Inspector Reports using the name Artillery Park. It was located in Wilkes-Barre. Looking for the "official" name of the operation.

Gentlemen,
Here are three images of the "Artillery Park Mine" The first two were scanned from a book of pictures on the 1936 flood (the second is blown up considerably which explains why it's grainy). The image taken from the Sterling Hotel shows the mine site to the left of Artillery Park. In the third view the concrete construction is evident. Still no name for the operation or knowledge of rail service but, this gives an idea of the size of the operation. It was a shaft mine which is what led me to think the flooding is what caused it's end as a viable operation.

Regards to all,
Wayne
