- Description
-
This is the last remaining quarry stick still vertical in the Slate Valley Region of New York and Vermont. These quarry sticks were used to ferry refuse slate away from the finishing areas and then dumped around the sticks. Over time, as the slag piles increased in height, more 'splices' were added to the existing stick using 'jaws' so the process could continue. You can still see the saddle on top of the stick, a few of the guy wires, the wheels or 'sheaves' through which the cableways would have run. No cablesways are still attached to the stick, so there aren't any carriers or a refuse box, otherwise it is in excellent condition.
