Erie Docks at the turn of the (last!) century.

	Anchor Line docks and Penna. R.R. [Pennsylvania Railroad] coal & ore docks, Erie, Pa. "This is an excellent overview of all of the P&E docks in Erie. However, they were not all Anchor Lines docks, only some. From left (west) to right (east) we have: 1. The large structure at the end of Dock 5 (E&P also had a Dock 5, which is confusing) is the PRR Grain Elevator built 1867, later expanded and burned 1915, operated at that time by the Erie & Western Transportation Co - Anchor Line (owned by the PRR 1900-1912), later operated by Western Stevedoring Co. 2. The low flat building is on Dock 6, the Anchor Lines passenger and freight terminal. 3. The gravity coal unloading trestle is on Dock 7, the P&E coal dock. It was replaced in 1910 by a McMyler car dumper. BTW they unloaded Canadian cord wood on the west side of that dock for Hammermill. 4. Lastly Dock 8 the P&E ore dock, which was originally the P&E's coal dock until 1888, when that operation was transferred to the larger trestle on Dock 7. It was later expanded from a stub track operation to a loop track operation." (Description by Al Buchan)

	Ore and coal docks, Erie, Pa. "The area on the left where the hoppers are stored is E&P Dock 3, which did not jut out into the water, but was along the shore line, the dock to the right is the E&P Ore Dock 4. E&P Dock 5, about which little is known was just east of Dock 4 and like Dock 3 did not jut out into the water. It like Dock 3 was used for rail car storage. This was the end of the E&P facilities. If you look real hard you can see the P&E grain elevator in the far distance, through the haze on the other Dock 5. (Description by Al Buchan)

	Looking west into East Lake Yard in 1951. The track chart below shows an overhead bridge over the cut yard on the east end. The photo was probably taken from there. Judging from the shadows, Don Murphy believes the freight leaving the yard is the BEC-2, Erie to Buffalo. (Don Murphy Collection)
