Ive been wanting to get a set of the valuations maps for the line to help locate and identify artifacts. There was a guy who knew a lot about the line but he passed away a few years ago. He provided a lot of information .

Nice video, the annotations were done well.

Its called the "Pickering Valley Branch"

Amazing how good condition they are in for their age.

The Delaware-Lackawanna Railroad set a record this year:

Accessories for Lionel trains are AC powered. It probably won't work with the variable DC output.

Although the bridge does look like the Erie bridge as depicted on my site, its not likely that since the video is about the D&H and it was the DL&W that ran under the the Erie's bridge. The mainline ran to Mount Pocono and Slateford, not to Carbondale. The O&W did cross over the D&H ...

Sure sounds like good news. I will be happy to see this excursion resume.

I also heard it is up for sale, I think this is a sign of abandonment. That would really suck.

I have been on most of the Scranton division and have never found one mile post. There used to be one whistle post in Starlight, PA but it was destroyed last year.

The Stourbridge line is still intact, just dormant, hopefully will not be abandoned.
The damaged bridge was replaced in 2008 and excursions resumed to Laxawaxen. I think the last runs were in 2010 or 2011
Since then the line has been not used.

No, the remaining rail line (now dormant) was an Erie line, last known as the Stourbridge Line. I do not have pictures of exploring the line, but I do have pictures of taking the train to Laxawaxen. http://www.nepaview.com/the-stourbridge-line.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return f...

It was known as the D&H's Penn Division, the last of the rails were torn out around 1985. Originally it was the Erie's Jefferson branch. I have photographed that rail line and posted them here.
