Laurel Line FactsThe Laurel Line last ran in 1952. This means that in 2008, the line has been not operated as a whole for 56 years. The Pittston to Wilkes-Barre segment last saw a CONRAIL train circa 1976. This section of the line has been abandoned for 32 years and traced of it are getting hard to find. What would we give now to have a mass transit system like the Laurel Line in this era of high fuel costs ? |
