RE: (erielack)DL&W Diamond and Green Ridge Branches industries ci rca 1956

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

I took some time and reviewed the maps of the DL&W Diamond and Green Ridge
Branches. Some of the industry names I could not make out, so this by no
means a complete list. It's getting late so I'll work on the list for the
Green Ridge Branch at another time. Here is a summary of Diamond Branch
industries with sidings circa 1956:
 
Beginning with the Diamond Branch crossing of Lackawanna Avenue there was
spur that came off the branch and ran down Mifflin Avenue to a point just
short of Mulberry St. Along this Mifflin Avenue spur were sidings for the
following:

*	Household Outfitting Co. (furniture) 

*	Armour & Co. (wholesale meats) 

*	David Spruks Co. (wholesale groceries)

Portion of Diamond Branch from Vine Street to the D&H interchange:
 

*	Scranton Flour and Grain 

*	The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co. (bakery) 

*	Curtis Companies(?)

Continuing on the Diamond Branch industries located along Capouse Ave (site
of Pine Brook Breaker?):
 

*	Philip Monsky scrap yard.
*	Simmons Co. (bed springs)
*	The Manhattan Shirt Co.

 
Diamond Branch west side of Lackawanna River:
 

*	Pennsylvania Hide Co.
*	Scranton Builders Supply
*	Sungas Products
*	Diamond Breaker (replaced by "New Diamond Breaker" on the mainline?)


Hope this is of interest
