 If you want some good reference material on the subject of the Erie's
Wyoming division, here are a few good sources:

Railpace May & June 1983
O&W Scranton Division by The NYO&W Historical Society
The Wilkes-Barre & Eastern RR by Harold S. Fredericks (Railroadians)
Laurel Line An Anthracite Region Rwy. by Henwood & Muncie
A Century of Progress The D&H 1823-1923 by the D&H Co. 1923

Bielive it or not The O&W book has the most valuable info on the Erie.
There is hardly anything left of the Erie in that area, however, in Scranton
(on Washington street I think) there is a seafood restaurant with a huge
pirate ship on top of it. If you go inside or to the rear of the building,
you will find that it is the old Erie station. Also, further to the north,
the Wimmers station has been moved to Hamlin, PA and is in use as the
library.
