    Thanks. I was around 15 when this was shot, and it brings back memories of all the old lines that have either gone out of business or have been absorbed into super railroads. Also, it's quite nostalgic to see that private property was respected in those days, as in no graffiti marring the rolling stock.

    I love the old Nash at 8:25!! LOL!! Beautiful film, by the way. I'm from Upstate, NY, and I have never actually seen the old Lackawanna Cutoff in person, but I'm glad NJ and PA are working to reuse it as a passenger line again. There are so many perfect ROW's still out there unused, and it's a shame that more of them aren't being rebuilt for passenger service, in order to alleviate the choking traffic on our nation's roads.

    I was a conductor 20 yrs ago for cp and worked this line from Binghamton to buffalo, saratoga Harrisburg and allentown. brought back some memories. tunk viaduct wasn't as nice looking as it was there and only single track now. I'm guessing the operator tower with the beautiful old blue car was hop bottom? wow classic. also was that a small yard at Clarks summit? great video

    John, great film. Thanks for sharng it with all of us.
    One quibble. That's the Factoryville (AKA Nicholson) Tunnel. I don't know of any Roseland Tunnel. There was a Roseville Tunnel in NJ, on the eastern portion of the Lackawanna Cutoff.

    Thanks for the correction, can't remember why I put that! I was thinking Roseville but as you said, it's in NJ! Glad you enjoyed it and I"ll add your correction to the description!

    great video, especially at 7:37. One of the dl&w's "gray ghosts"

    @intercityrailpal I think you're right, at one point in the film one of the b units has been replaced with what looks like a trainmaster.

    Of course you know Norfolk Southern's got the Lackawanna heritage unit, but it's still not the same like it used to be once upon a time when the Lackawanna actually ran trains. For some true rail buffs and rail employees, they kind of wished the Lackawanna was still around as a proud independent railroad.

    9:41 FactoryVille Tunnel and tower.

    I noticed that as well, but unlike you, I did not know it was wheel slip...Very observant of you to post that information...

    How much of this line is still in use? God bless.

    • @scoobycarr5558

      The Binghampton to Scranton portion of the main that includes the impressive Tunkhannock and Martins Creek bridges is still in use by Norfolk Southern and Canadian Pacific, while the route from Scranton to Delaware Water Gap over the scenic Poconos is in use by shortline operator Delaware Lackawanna. As far as I know, the cutoff line is gone but much of the DL&W's "old line" is still in use.
