PLUMBING ELECTRIC LAKE’S DEPTHS

Jim Kevlin/HOMETOWN ONEONTA

Jim Loudon, local railroad historian and author of the just-published “Electric Lake:  Oneonta’s Forgotten Gem,” discusses the turbine house (near where Oneonta Iron & Metal is today) at the lake’s west end during a tour of the Electric Lake exhibit that opened Sunday, April 17, at the Oneonta History Center, 183 Main St.  Loudon plans to lead a walking tour of the lake bed (along I-88 between Emmons and the downtown exit) on Sunday, June 5.   Among attendees were Dominick Reisen (center), author and former president of the Otsego County Historical Society.
