RE: (erielack) DL&W/O&W in Scranton

["Palmer, Brian" <palmerb_@_toysrus.com>]

The DL&W Diamond Branch crossed the D&H on the east side of the Lackawanna
river and crossed the NYO&W on the west side of the river. The crossing of
the NYO&W included a connecting track on the northeast quadrant. This
connection allowed the DL&W to run over NYO&W to reach isolated DL&W track
to breakers such as the Storrs. Was the track  to Scranton Lace originally
DL&W? I have a 1956 map that indicates it is DL&W.

List,  
    If memory serves me correctly, the portion ran by the DL&W came off the
Diamond Branch just east of the bridge over the River in the Providence
section of Scranton.
     When I worked at Pocono Northeast ( 1982- 1991 ) thsi small section was
used t access Scranton Lace who recieved a boxcar of material about once a
year.  I believe that this is where the O&W crossed the diamond branch on
what else but a diamond to get to there terminal area and connect to the CNJ
at Scranton.
