They will, hopefully before the year is out.. From what I was told it could be in service by late October at the earliest. They actually want to run dinner trains on the line as well as other themed trains and maybe a railfan days next year..
I rode the whole line in the summer of 2000 or 2001. My ex-girlfriend and I took the train to Lackawaxen then we went tubing along the Delaware and had a BBQ lunch in the pavilion... That was a pretty fun outing and a very scenic excursion!

I was reading on one of the yahoo lists that there is now an ethanol plant proposed for somewhere on this line. I looked through several articles and they were all giving different information about the project and how it would relate to rail. Does anyone here think that rail would be used to either transport raw materials or finished product?
Also, what other customers are proposed for this line?

Ah yes, that superior intelligence strikes again...
All I was trying to tell you is if you search you'll see the topic was covered recently in the Pennsylvania Forum, where both the line and the customers are.
But I'll leave you alone. I'm sure you'll find the answers you're looking for this way.

Normally I would handle something like this off-list...

Leave me alone... the possible freight for this line will spend most of its time in New York State.Leave you alone? Why so rude, SJ? Rich only suggested you try posting in the Pennsylvania Railfan Forum becuase the majority of this line runs in that state. Rich was kind enough to turn the other cheek and help you with your research anyway. Consider this a warning.

From Wayne County EDC:
HAWLEY RAILROAD BRIDGE REPAIR FUNDS TOTAL $1.583 MILLION January 2008 - Wayne Industrial Development Authority (WIDA), owner of the damage railroad bridge in Hawley, was recently notified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that $703,278 in federal aid has been approved for its repair. FEMA monies will supplement an $880,000 grant from the PA Dept. of Community and Economic Development and allow for full restoration of the bridge. Currently, bids are being prepared, and construction is expected to start this Spring.
The bridge is the last part of the rail line that needs to be restored because of the extensive flooding that swept through northeastern Pennsylvania almost two years ago. Construction should be completed by summer and the rail line will again be open from Honesdale to Lackawaxen.
Special thanks must go to our Federal legislators, who were instrumental in obtaining FEMA approval.
