Laurel Line: Luna Park Entrance


This is the entrance to Luna Park that ran under the Laurel Lines Dunmore branch. Interstate 81 cuts this off from the rest of the former park area. There was a station up the walkway to the right of the photo. Now that spring is here, the area is covered in heavy foilage. The area has become a dumping ground for local residents as is evidenced by the debris. Standing water fills the bottom of the passageway. The tracks ran above the opening here. This station was in between the Nay Aug Park, and the Myrtle Street stops. Luna closed after the 1916 season, when a fire destroyed three buildings.
