The natural answer to all of this is simple, at least to us. Extending service from Port Jervis to Lackawaxen, Hawley, etc., is a natural. It could be done on an experimental basis since the tracks are already there. Extending service via rebuilding the line from Hawley to Dunmore to connect with D-L won't work as much of the r-o-w is now privately owned with homes built on it, thus the Cut-Off is the answer for Scranton/Poconos/NorthwestNJ. Scranton/Poconos/NorthwestNJ service is a must as the poplulation is larger. Either way, if the "thinkers" do their jobs, the people can be served. We talk among ourselves, which is great. We learn so much from each other. However, we must realize that all of us together know someone who knows someone and by continuing to contact newspapers, environmental organizations, etc., we can make some noise. Politicians don't like noise. Rick **************************************Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.
