The WB&E was truly an obscure, overlooked piece of railroad in Northeastern
PA, the WB&E was far from a mainline, but, traversed some truly amazing
scenery and grades thru Lackawanna and Monroe Counties. The line was
operated by the Susquehanna Railroad, whose Delaware Branch connected with
this railroad at Stroudsburg. It also connected with the Erie in Avoca, PA
by way of the Susquehanna Connecting Railroad (or Suscon as it was known
locally). Parts of the Suscon are still in operation today by the
Luzerne-Susquehanna.



The WB&E also had an interchange with the DL&W by way of another connecting
railroad at Pocono Summit-see previous post about Pocono summit Tower



These two items were posted on trainorders.com over the weekend by someone
who must have these in their collection.
