Laurel Line: Connell Junction


We went on another hike through the woods today in search of remains from the Laurel Line. We made to to Connell Junction in time for the trolley. On the right is where the "over the hill" portion of the Laurel Line ran. This trolley is headed south after having passed through the tunnel route from South Scranton. This part of the Laurel Line was double track at one time, and powed by third rail. Today the museum operation uses overhead power. Saw a number of interesting sights, but none could top this.
