Rich: Correction on the photo location! Re-post the answer:

Todd:

            I don't think so.  Between MP 204 and 201 the railroad was moved 
into the canal bed in the 50's.  That's why there's 105 Dudley there instead 
of 101 DL&W rail and there's no canal bed beside the railroad.  Also, that's 
a big train.  Between 1968 and 1976 Erie Lackawanna interchanged a lot of 
traffic with the Reading at Rupert-it was the only interchange between those 
two roads after the Penn Central merger.  West of Rupert the train would be 
a small fraction of the train you see in the picture.

            I think this is along US 11 a mile or two above or below 
Shickshinny.  That's the only place I could identify on Google that would 
satisfy all of the criteria presented by this slide.

David:

See below from Dick Robey..

After re-looking at the photo I concur with him. The canal confirms this as 
near Danville the RR filled in the canal.

I think that this is somewhere between MP 204.6 (Chulaski) and MP 201.8 
(Danville) on NSHR. That's probably Rt. 11 beside train and it is headed to 
Northumberland. Merk is across the river (on D&H line) at this point.
