If your interested in adding another marker to your collection, the 17 Mile marker is in King of Prussia on South Gulph Road across from Vallery Forge Memorial Gardens

This mile marker is actually the mileage from Broad Street Station (Penna. RR) which was across from City Hall. The marker is on the Pennsy's Schuylkill Division. The stations near the marker were Betzwood (21.8) and Protectory (23.2). Data is from a CT1000 11/01/1907. Hope this is not TMI!
