Delaware Lackawanna Pocono Main

Nice work with the varying levels.

Thank you!

A little bit farther down the line (railroad south) from my last post we see the Laurel Line skirting the Roaring Brook flood protection walls as it passes under the expressway entering downtown Scranton. In the background you can see the Hotel along with an old signal bridge that used to protect the DL&W Pocono main, now it sits dark but trains are still running under it everyday with the Steamtown National Historic Site, and The Delaware Lackawanna Railroad using the Pocono Main (The route I'm actually building but got side tracked down on the Laurel Line because it's all close enough to be one scene.)

Just letting you guys know that this is still progressing. Currently @PBY357 has the route and is working on track arrangements and grading as that is his bread and butter. Plus, I am not a fan of that aspect of the builds. I should be getting the route back here soon to work on.

Big fan of the area. If you need any help just let me know.

Well folks I have the route back and work has resumed, here is the first update I'll share.

The Prototype

My take on the scene.

I'll go back through and add the pipes and other details at some point but the majority of the scene is complete.

I have been working on the former Poly-Hi plastic plant in Scranton. This building utilized the former L&WV car barn along the Roaring Brook Creek.

Finally someone is working on a Scranton area route. If you are doing the Pocono main and the former D&H to Carbondale, those routes are also used by Steamtown excursion trains. There is a blank DEM on the DLS which goes from Carbondale to Tobyhanna and I have other DEM going north toward Binghamton and toward Sunbury but I don't have the patience to build a detailed route like yours for even several miles. I'm hoping that you will eventually release your route. Are you doing the trolley line used by the museum which goes to the ball park in Moosic?

What? I've been at it for years...nobody seemed to care. So I gave it up.

I've been working on this route on and off for years now, I have my own DEM that covers all of the DL Pocono route and parts of the Carbondale and Laurel Line mains. So part of the trolley line is on this route such as some of the latest screenshots but not the entire thing.
