Laurel Line: Connell Junction


Philadelphia Suburban 89, southbound at Connell Junction this morning. The physical junction is long gone now. Once upon a time the "Over the Hill" branch of the Laurel Line came down the hill on the right, near the pole. This is roughly a mile south of the Stafford Avenue Bridge over the Laurel Line tracks.

Lackawanna Railroad 565


A view of the ongoing cosmetic restoration of Lackawanna 565. This Locomotive was built in Schenectady by ALCO in 1908 for the Lackawanna. Later it was sold to the Dansville & Mount Morris RR in 1936, who operated the locomotive through the late 1950's. It passed through several owners after that, eventually ending up in Scranton in 1985.
