Clarks Summit, PA ??

[Anonymous]

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?

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

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.
