Re: (erielack) DL&W Cedar Avenue Bridge in downtown Scranton coming down.
Yes, Paul it was.Funny we always have the money to remove passenger rail facilities. In this case $400,000 then there is the cost of the walkway to replace it. This was part of the China Wall... that's what some DL&W guys called it.(The passenger mains). It would have to be proved to me, that this ;massive span has un repairable problems. Just wait untill you see what this project costs when it's done! I've seen this before. I think it could be fixed. Lance Erickson

Wasn't this the bridge that was part of the "high line" that was used to get inand out of the station by passenger trains?
