Pittston Junction.   Former Lehigh Valley Trackage, then CONRAIL after that.  

Now it is owned by the Reading and Northern.   It can be a busy place.   The Luzerne Susquehanna also visits the Jucntion and interchanges cars here. 

 Built with RailBlogger V2.5

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. )
