Can you imagine?!? A Union Station serving DL&W, Erie, D&H, O&W and CNJ? Laurel Line, too? With Scranton street cars?
A modeller's dream! The operations! The colors! The locomotives!

Should note that this imressive structure was the CNJ freight house in Scranton.
The CNJ passenger station was a very small wood structure located along the tracks between Bridge 60 and the West Lackawanna Ave. span. . .
Back around 1890-1900 there was a grandiose plan to build a "Union Station" in Scranton near this location. . . .
