Duryea Yard
Duryea Yard, formerly Coxton Yard, and sometimes called West Pittston Yard — or as named by its latest lessee, Muller Yard — was built in 1870 by the Lehigh Valley Railroad as a turn around and staging hub to move coal from the North Anthracite Region of Pennsylvania's Coal Regions to Eastern big-city markets when the Railroad successfully established trackage up the Lehigh Valley corridor. ==Founding== Founded as part of an successful attempt to found a Joint-stock company specifically〔See History of the Lehigh Valley Railroad.〕 to break up the transportation monopoly in bulk goods shipping built up by the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company (LC&N) over the Wyoming-Lehigh-Delaware Valleys route. The corridor makes a nearly direct route to the big eastern cities markets that had been held since 1837-38 by LC&Ns canal operations and its railroad subsidiary, the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad.
