The North Shore Railroad currently operates this line, but I do not know how much of the original line is intact. Here's a link to a website: https://www.nshr.com/nshr Fifteen years ago, I rode a Fall Foliage excursion over this line from Northumberland to Danville. Edited 1 time(s).

I can remember the hostlers at Scranton putting the power together for the branch run, as I was leaving on a westbound main line job, and hoping that there were going to be some lucky fans out there to catch those lashups....and you were!
