CNJ Trestle Across Lackawanna, South Scranton

October 25, 2013

Here is an old bridge that connected the former CNJ ROW that is now a Rail To Trail with the former Murray Plant in South Scranton.

In the side of the factory wall, there is a little observation tower type structure, overlooking the railroad tracks.   There is another on on the other side of the plant.   This must have been a busy place back in the day.
