caption: Duryea yard was established in the early adolescence of railroad history in Pennsylvania by the Lehigh Valley Railroad and operated by that Class I railroad for many decades. According to 2010 news accounts, it is operated by the Reading Blue Mountain and Northern Railroad (RBMN or often called the nickname 'Reading and Northern') which may have renamed the yard the Muller yard as this 'new' sign indicates as the track crosses Coxton Road in Duryea and enters the northern tip of the yard's entrance wye along the shore of the Lackawanna River.
