Part
2 focuses on the lands north and west of Wilkes-Barre, PA,
encompassing the small but productive Bernice semi-anthracite coal
field and the vast woodlands that supplied raw material for a
succession of lumber companies. The Lehigh Valley's mainline between
Wilkes-Barre and Sayre, PA is detailed as are the Bowman's Creek,
Ganoga Lake, and State Line & Sullivan branches. The ill-fated
Pittsburg, Binghamton & Eastern; the Williamsport & North
Branch; the Susquehanna & New York; the Eagles Mere; the
Susquehanna & Eagles Mere; the Bloomsburg & Sullivan; and
the Susquehanna, Bloomsburg & Berwick lines are also covered in
this informative tour of railroading in the Endless Mountains of
Pennsylvania.
