Gear Head, not sure what you are looking at..when I open the map you linked its just Waverly, with the "pin" right in the middle of town, not on any tracks..
but the tracks through Waverly (east-west) are the former Erie mainline..the DL&W is mostly buried under route 17 through this part of the world..wiped out completely.
the north-south tracks are the former Lehigh Valley mainline..

Older Geodetic Survey maps show that the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western did run through part of Sayre, Pa. instead of staying in Waverly, N.Y., like the Erie did. The Southern Tier Expwy. hugs the State line, while the DL&W was a few feet South of there, so some of the embankments and property lines can still be seen today.

Not one of my better maps:

When I saved it, the jpeg compression was set too low, and it blurred all my carefully plotted text and lines. :(
I should re-do it..probably will someday.

the map goes with this page:
