Unfortunately, all my books are in storage or I could dig up some more info
(and check my "facts").

As an aside, on the NYS&W just south of Scranton, is a spot called "Suscon"
(see the map), perhaps a contraction of Susquehanna Connection.  I noticed
this morning  on riding my NJT train into Hoboken that NJT has named the NJT
(former Erie mainline) connection at Hawthorne, NJ (my former hometown) with
the NYS&W "Suscon."  How original.
