Thanks! A lot of time, money and effort has gone into restoring the railroad to operation. I assure you, there is more to come. The official website will be updated as trips are planned and allow you to see when they run and buy tickets online. http://www.thestourbridgeline.net" onclick="w...

Lots of work continues at the DL&S in preparation for the Grand Opening on May 9th & 10th. The 54 is running nicely and the 2 CNJ coaches are undergoing some serious work and will soon be repainted. 1203 is in the shop and has already been stripped and patched, the 993 is next. Come out for ...

Re: Delaware Otsego coach in a guy's backyard

The paint on his coach looks better but it has a bent frame from the impact of some runaway freight cars (darn kids!). The 1993/993 "Canadarago Lake" is still in fairly good condition as is the 1203 " Horatio Allen". All 3 are former CNJ coaches.

So far, they have been trucked in from western PA. More equipment is coming by rail but that's waiting for some maintanence work to be completed. Some of it is borrowed, leased, rented, bought.. anything to get the railroad back running and bring the tourists back to the area. These last few years h...

*in the coming weeks*.. That's what I get for NOT checking my post before hitting Submit. A third caboose has now arrived and at least one is getting decorated for the holidays. If you come to Honesdale to see them be sure to do some holiday shopping or have a meal while you're there. The businesses...

Thanks John. I suspected as much.

For those who didn't notice: a second caboose has arrived. Several more are expected in them coming weeks, weather permitting. Brush cutting and track work will continue through the winter as will mechanical repairs. 54 is getting a lot of love.

Yes, the D&O assigned several RS and S Alcos to the LASB before they bought the NYS&W and adopted the Susquehanna name and paint scheme. A little research online or by reading a few books will give you many examples of D&O / LASB / NYSW equipment on the line. In other news: the first of ...

The railroad is a business so a vague reference to possible future business is to be expected. Do you post all of your plans and possible employment opportunities for the public to see? With all that has happened to the SBRR, a little cynicism is understandable but it should'nt be the first reaction...

You probably can't see it but things have been happening despite the naysayers here and elsewhere. If you have the best of intentions for the railroad then be a supporter when the time comes, it will need your help. In the mean time, think good thoughts. A real comeback will likely need volunteers d...
