Erie Lackawanna Railway
The city was at one time served by the Lehigh Valley Railroad, Central Railroad of New Jersey, the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad (later Erie Lackawanna Railway), Delaware and Hudson Railway, the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Wilkes-Barre and Eastern Railroad, and the Lackawanna and Wyoming Valley Railroad (known as the Laurel Line). CNJ trains included the "Interstate Express" (ending in 1957) and local service to Allentown and Philadelphia. The last Lehigh Valley trains were the "Black Diamond" (ending in 1959), "John Wilkes" and "Maple Leaf" (the last two, ending in 1961).
