Central Railroad of New Jersey


The Jersey Central bridge over Scranton Street. The Jersey Central ceased operations in Pennsylvania in 1972. I'm not sure when this stretch of street was abandoned, but Scranton Street crossed the river. The Railroad bridge in currently part of the Lackawanna Valley Heritage Trail. This is just a short distance south of the Lackawanna Railroad's Bridge 60.
