The Lackawanna had an overhead crossing of the B&O's 4th Sub-Division the Rochester Salamanca line (originally the BR&P) at DL&W MP 350.1. It was a unique station, because it was wooden and designed like the BR&P's "ranch style" stations but it was on the DL row, and was painted Lackawanna green with the orangish/red trim, and a large stairway leading down to the B&O tracks. The two rr's shared an interchange yard at the south east quadrant, with the largest interchange being coal for the Johnson City power plant. Attached are a couple of photos to enjoy.


The station burned May 28,1961, a little over a year before EL dropped passenger service on the DL side, and for some reason the State funded a complete removal of the DL's overhead bridge, and dozed the abutment out and back a hundred feet on each side. Time & man marches onward.
