Lots of pictures of abandoned rail lines with maps.

Chris,

Thanks for an awesome link! I grew up in Clarks Summit, just north of Scranton. I remember many of the scenes on that website.

What a great trip down memory lane!

Thanks again!

Interesting! When was the line out to Lake Ariel abandoned?

I believe it was around 1975. Last customer was a lumber yard that either closed or stopped getting shipments via rail.

Sort of a shame considering the sizable sandstone quarry (Hanson Materials) that is along the line now. The ROW through town is visible, though and there is an old coal ramp that one can explore without bothering anyone.
