Eastern Railroad Discussion > Delaware-Lackawanna Pocono Line job 2/8Date: 02/27/20 19:54 Delaware-Lackawanna Pocono Line job 2/8 Author: sscannella Saturday, February 8 found me back in the Scranton, PA area, and that of course meant some time with the Delaware-Lackawanna. The former DL&W / EL Pocono Main is seeing service 5-6 times a week out of Scranton by the PO74/PO75 turn. This day they departed Scranton with 14 loads of grain for the mill at Mt. Pocono and 4 loads of lumber for Cresco, and picked up another 10 grain loads off of the siding at Winton, seen here at Myrtle St in Scranton then coming through ELmhurst.

Thanks for the post.
