Tim,

They had something called the over the hill route, built before the tunnel.
I believe those right of ways are now I-81 and the central Scranton
Expressway.  The Henwood and Muncey book "Laurel Line" lists Maple St,
Waldorf, Nay Aug, Myrtle St, Petersburg, and Dunmore stations on that line.

Subject: (erielack) Lackawanna & Wyoming Valley question

I justed picked up an interesting book done for the Lackawanna & Wyoming
Valley in 1931, apparently in an effort to make the line available for
merger.  This book has some interesting maps in it.  I noticed that the L&WV
had a line that diverged from the main just south of the South Scranton
tunnel, heading over to the Erie at Dunmore.  There is also a line from
Dunmore to Scranton forming a triangle.  Did these lines exist?  I thought
there was only the Scranton-Wilkes Barre line.  Was there passenger service
on these lines?
