North Shore to operate part of Bloomsburg Branch

From the Surface Transportation Board, North Shore to acquire remaining portion through East Berwick to just south of Shickshinny:

How much of the Bloom is left these days ?

The line runs all the way from Northampton, PA to the nuclear power plant a few miles northeast of Berwick. From there, most of the ROW is intact but there are no rails. PPL presently owns the track and is very difficult to deal with since they aren't in the railroad business. This is probably a move by NSHR to allow the use of PPL's railyard by Route 11 for other purposes.

One geographical correction. It is Northumberland rather than Northampton.
