Probably by the Delaware Lackawanna short line operator who switches much of
the freight on the old DL&W/D&H trackage in and near Scranton.
Laurel Line - An Anthracite Region Railway, a book by James Henwood and John
Muncie gives a very good history of this electric interurban. It ran on both
overhead wire and exposed third rail, ALA the NYC el's.
