Railfanning the Delaware Lackawanna

[Matt_S]

Hi all,

I'm planning a long scheduled trip to Scranton and the surrounding area to chase the DL on a Saturday coming up. I have had vague knowledge of their ops up until recently, however I know their schedule has changed a little, since NS is now interchanging in Scranton instead of Portland. I was hoping to find out if anyone knows the wheres and whens for their Saturday operations now?

Thanks for your help!

If you can scare up a copy of Railfan magazine, October 2017 issue, it had a feature article on Genesee Valley Transportation. Near the end of the article, it says operations on the Delaware Lackawanna are seven days a week. Probably too late for your planned trip. Hope you had good luck.

Actually the trip was rescheduled for this weekend. Still looking for info of crew call times and stuff if anyone knows?

Thanks

I crossed there many times. I would never expected a rail would fly up and out like that. It would have killed someone standing trackside.
