THis was a relatively short-lived Reading line from the Catawissa line at Hazelton Junction (near Lofty a bit north of Quakake, north of Tamaqua) connecting to up near Hazleton (specifically to Roan Jct). A discusssion about it emerged on the LV forum discussing the Delaware Schuylkill and Susquehanna, which connected to it at Roan Jct. (LV took it over around 1905).
Does anyone know much about the THN? Apparently it died in pieces, gone entirely by 1945. See the LV forum at
http://www.railroad.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=25896 There is a specific discussion on its exact route near Lofty and Hazelton Jct near Lofty, any insight and history would be appreciated.
Also, related, on the system map of the Reading Historical and Technical SOciety website
http://www.readingrailroad.org/reading/ ... x9_300.jpg it shows a stub of a line going from near Quakake to Roan -- I would suspect this would be the THN, but it is not bold so it is presumably not Reading -- maybe it was sold to LV? or just an error on the map. Note the map highlights CNJ as well as Reading. Anyone know the date of this map?
