Re: (erielack) Re: Delaware Water Gap hotels
It's amazing to see how this area changed. I had often wondered why there
was such a large station a Delaware Water Gap. By the early 1950s only a
few trains stopped there and I think most were flag stops. It's also
amazing to see that the station lasted so long. I wonder why DL&W didn't
demolish the structrue after Hurricane Diane hit.
