Re: (erielack) NYSW / DL&W between Water Gap, Stroudsburg and Gravel Place

Gary,

I'm presuming you mean that a connection would have been built with the
Sussex Branch at Warbasse for this traffic.  I have never seen any
evidence that there was ever more than crossing tracks of the NYSW and
DLW (both lines) at Warbasse. 

There _is_ a map that shows two proposed connections (with multi-track
yards, one facing east, the other west) with the NYSW, but said map also
does not indicate a necessary bridge over the Paulinskill river at that point.
