- What is exactly is the current state of the roadbed from Lake Hopatcong
- to Scranton? I know that from Hopatcong west the rails are torn up, but
- how far does that extend? When I was at Steamtown in 1991, the rails
- west of Scranton seemed to be in use by someone, maybe the DO system?
- Anyway the rails were still single tracked across the viaduct at
- Nicholson, PA. What was the reason behind removing the section in Jersey?
- Political or economic? Some time ago there were rumblings about retracking
- this section and restoring some sort of service. Steve, any new word?
