Tom Beckett General Nice reminder of the "good old days"!! The U 30C's had only a few more years on the D&H-they went to Mexico in 1978. The line itself was torn up south of here, from a point about two miles south of the viaduct, to Carbondale not long after the D&H acquired the old DLW main from Binghamton to Scranton in 1980, a far superior route to operate. It was the DLW "Cutoff", over Nicholson(Tunkhannock) and Martins Creek viaducts. The Penn Division here lasted til the rebuild of Belden Tunnel was completed around 1986, the couple of miles south of this point used as a turning point for trains detouring via the Penn Division, then up the Jeff Connection to the ex Erie Southern Tier, then on to Binghamton. The line here is now empty roadbed, as it was all pulled following the Belden Tunnel project. Starrucca Viaduct has also seen changes, having changed hands to NS, then leased to the NYSW. It was single tracked about 15 years ago, and now sees only six trains per week, a far cry from the 25 plus 4/30/2019 4:31:07 AM
