Dead thread I know, but it made sense to keep it in the current topic.
What are current traffic levels like over the viaduct. I should have asked before I visited yesterday. Is it measured in trains per day or more like trains per week/as needed?

Re: Tunkhannock Viaduct
I believe there should be 6 train movement each weekday:
- 11Z Binghamton to Enola pre-dawn
- 14R Enola to Binghamton afternoon
- 36T Binghamton to Allentown evening
- 37T Allentown to Binghamton evening
- H97 Binghamton to Scranton and return to Binghamton overnight turn
As you can see much of the activity across the viaduct is nocturnal.
- 11Z Binghamton to Enola pre-dawn
- 14R Enola to Binghamton afternoon
- 36T Binghamton to Allentown evening
- 37T Allentown to Binghamton evening
- H97 Binghamton to Scranton and return to Binghamton overnight turn

Do the Binghamton to Allentown (and return) jobs go via the Lehigh Gorge on the Reading & Northern, or the long way around via Sunbury to stay on NS?

Pumpers, the 36T/37T Binghamton - Allentown trains do run via trackage rights over RBM&N through the Lehigh Gorge.
