Re: (erielack) Steamtown Images--August 25, 2017--B Series (B2408-B2412) IDs
I found the valmap and traced it to the old Factoryville station, and even somewhat past that. Clearly it used about a quarter to a third mile of the old line.
I guess the original Lackawanna Trail, which was built on the old line and opened in 1922, must have accommodated it. I'll bet when the Lackawanna Trail was substantially upgraded in the 40s or 50s, this branch probably disappeared.
