Operation usually consists of a Monday-Friday local, Northumberland to Berwick and return. The trackage north of Berwick to the Susquehanna (PP&L) nuclear plant is intact, but moves are very rare. On a positive note, operation is normally during daylight hours. You can usually catch the move working the Del Monte and R R Donnelly plants a few miles north of Bloomsburg in the early afternoon.
The line closely paralells US 11 between Northumberland and Danville, and between Bloomsburg and Briar Creek, three miles south of Berwick. Between Danville and Bloomsburg, it follows the river, but is easily viewed from local roads, which will rejoin Penna Route 42 opposite Catawissa.
The line maintains a small yard in Berwick, opposite the Wise Foods plant on Susquehanna Avenue. From there, it climbs a steep embankment to access the former American Car and Foundry plant, crossing US 11 at Front and Oak Streets, with a few short blocks of street running.
As an aside, there is much more traffic on the former PRR trackage on the opposite bank of the river. This line can be followed via local roads and Penna 239) between Mifflinville (6 miles south of Nescopeck) and Mocanaqua (11 miles north). The line sees 8-12 moves daily, but not much before 3:00 PM.
What a revoltin' development this is! (William Bendix)
