Attached is a legal document posted in the Scranton Republican in July 1912 stating the DL&W would build a bridge over the KV branch, extending Washburn St., and subsequently close the Jackson St. Crossing and replace it with a pedestrian subway. In previous articles in the Scranton papers, Jackson St. crossing is referred to as a "death trap".

>All taken at KV branch Jackson St crossing in Scranton, looking north towards the Capo use breaker, also known as the Briggs breaker.

>What's interesting about this series is that it shows a Jackson St crossing, which was subsequently removed and replaced with a subway. There must have been a lot of issues with this crossing, so many pictures over the years at this location.
