Delaware - Lackawanna 2457

 DL 2457 behind the new bus station a couple weeks ago.

Stafford Meadowbrook

 A couple views of Stafford Meadow Brook from last Sunday morning.

The Railyard

 New paint job on the Railyard, Lackawanna & Jefferson Avenues, looks better than the temporary banners they had for the last couple years. Old timers might remember when this was the Martz Bus station.

Banners

 The few remaining 500 Block banners really should be replaced. These banners are about as shabby as the promises that put them there.

Delaware - Lackawanna 3007

 DL 3007 basking in the Saturday afternoon sun by Bridge 60 Tower.

Illegal Dumping

 Illegal dumping along Old Log Road, and nearby Stafford Meadowbrook, from Sunday morning. Maybe someday the city will have elected officials that cared about things like this. As of now, none of the councilmen, nor the mayor have been responsive to this issue.

The flatscreen is a new addition, the mattress above Laurel Line Tunnel has been there for a year or so. The city seems to be deaf and blind to reports about this, although to their credit, they must have gotten the other two mattresses that were also along Old Log Road last year, but this other stuff has been here for years.

Philadelphia Suburban 76

 Philadelphia Suburban 76 at the south end of Laurel Line Tunnel on Sunday morning. The regular Electric City Trolley Museum excursions start on April 21.

Washington's Birthday

 Today is George Washington's birthday. Years ago, we used to get this day off from school. Nowadays most incoming college freshmen have no idea who this guy is.

Old Citgo Station

 There's no Citgo Zoom at this station anymore, from last month.

Samter's

 The Samter Building at Penn & Lackawanna, great coffeehouse there.

Lackawanna Avenue Clock

 The clock in the 500 block of Lackawanna Avenue still doesn't work. For at least eight years the taxpayer funded clock has been out of operation, two mayors and a half dozen city councilman could care less.

Step Falls

 Step Falls from the new Harrison Avenue Bridge on Saturday morning. Spring can't get here ssoon enough.

Lincoln's Birthday

 We used to get this day off as kids, ad from Motion Picture News, January 23, 1926.
