Does anyone know what railroad owns the tracks through Clarks Summit, PA? I know they used to be DL&W. I have been working in this area, and I have seen everything CSX, NS, and CP!
Josh,
All I know is at the Lackawanna line used to run through there. (Oops! Sorry, I’m thinking of Scranton.) Anyhow, have you made it to Steamtown yet?
Tom
The map on mapquest has them listed as Delaware and Hudson [?]
DL&W,EL,CONRAIL,then either the D&H leased them or aqquired them,now I think it’s either NS or CP which aqquired the D&H.
The Canadian Pacific aquired the D&H at one point, so that means that those tracks are owed or operated by the CP. I have not heard or read of the CP getting rid of the D&H or its trackage
Yes I have been to steam town, I see a lot of SW’s running through town. I have been in the WB / Scranton area for a couple of months now. Whoever owns the tracks in Clarks Summit, I know that it is some great railfanning you never know whos power will be comming through.
SPV’s Railroad Atlas of the Northeast US lists the line at Clarks Summit as a former DLW (Delaware, Lackawanna & Western) now STLH (St Lawrence & Hudson Railway) which I beleive is CP and would explain their appearance.
I’ve been to Steamtown also and I have noticed CP trains coming by.
