My 1910 official guide reprint has a list of old and new railroad names 
and neither one was listed.  Could they have been electric lines?  Nor 
are they on the old TRAINS map of PA.

a Google search of Scranton and Northeastern came up with with two hits, 
one from he University of Iowa and the other from a seller of railroad 
script.  and Central Valley Railroad came up with several hits.  The CVR 
seems to have been in New York and had something to do with the D&H.
