Sunbury Line : ウィキペディア英語版 | Sunbury Line
The Sunbury Line is a rail line once owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad connecting its core system with the other anthracite rail lines in and around Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. It is presently owned and operated by Norfolk Southern Railway.〔(Norfolk Southern completes acquisition of Delaware & Hudson South Line ), PRNewswire, September 18, 2015〕 The original line ran from the downtown Wilkes-Barre rail cluster southwest to Sunbury〔J. Alex Lang, (Canadian Pacific Railway's Sunbury Line ), Eastern Railroad News, July 1998〕 along tracks on the east (left) shore of the North Branch Susquehanna River. Today the line from Wilkes-Barre to Hanover Township is owned by Luzerne County and operated by the Luzerne Susquehanna Railway. The remainder of the original line now runs Sunbury to Hanover Township in what was the Buttonwood Yard of the PRR. There it connects with NS's line north on the former Wilkes-Barre Connecting Railroad trackage to Hudson, Pennsylvania and the former Delaware and Hudson Railway mainline north to Scranton and beyond. At Sunbury, the line meets the Norfolk Southern Railway's Buffalo Line. ==History== The Danville, Hazelton and Wilkes-Barre Railroad opened from Sunbury to South Danville in 1869〔, June 2004 Edition〕 and past Catawissa to Tomhicken in 1871.〔, January 2005 Edition〕 The North and West Branch Railway opened the line from Catawissa to Wilkes-Barre in the early 1880s, completing the current Sunbury Line.〔(PRR Corporate History: Pennsylvania Railroad )〕 The line became part of the Pennsylvania Railroad through leases and mergers. In 1976, the line was taken over by Conrail, with trackage rights assigned to the Delaware and Hudson Railway. The D&H acquired the line in the early 1980s, then Canadian Pacific Railway.〔 Norfolk Southern's purchase of the line commenced September 19, 2015.〔
