February 21, 2010

Here we see some LS units on ex Lehigh Valley trackage. This was what was once the passenger main. Out of frame of several of the shots is the former EL Bloomsburg branch. End of Track in Kingston. The Taylor Secondary is another part of the old Bloomsburg branch.

Tidbit :

 
From 1991 CONRAIL Timetable :

Taylor Secondary Track 

Distance from Hoboken 

136.7  TAYLOR (D&H Railway) 
136.7  BLS MINOOKA 
139.7  OLD FORGE 
142.8  PITTSTON JCT. 
  (Lehigh Sec and 
  Pocono Northeast RR)  

(Why is the distance 
listed as distance 
from Hoboken, since
trains have not run 
to Hoboken in many,
 many years ??? 
 
It was a hold over from the Erie Lackawanna Times Table. )
