Construction of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad's southern division from Scranton, Pennsylvania to the Delaware River began in June 1852. It evolved from a plan by Seldon and George Scranton to connect their borough with New Jersey and thus promote the Scranton economy. The document describes the development, improvement, and maintenance of a railroad right-of-way required for proper functioning. It also presents the operation of Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad trains over that route from Scranton to Slateford Junction, Pennsylvania. In addition it depicts the impact of the DL&W on that portion of its line. Hopefully, the report will convey the importance of this facet of American railroad and transportation history to park managers, planners, and interpreters and, through them, the American public.
