| William Rogers posted Near Stroudsburg Pennsylvania actually trying to identity the locations. Tim Stuy: It was located where a junkyard is today. Until about 10 years ago, one of the original building was still standing. Here are the coordinates: 40.978641822983626, -75.20280481222605 Pete Putman: Connected to the NYS&W in Stroudsburg and I think the Susie-Q station is still there. Very little of the WB&E ROW survives to this day. Don Dorflinger: Pete Putman NYS&W freight house survives, but not in its original location. The building was originally located where the former Shop Rite plaza is today. It was moved to Ann St. and is currently situated on the former location of one of the three Stroudsburg Traction Company car barns sat. Quite a bit if the WB&E right if way still exists, if you know where to look. Rolando Maggi shared |

| Mike Ballburn commented on William's post Tracks appear to follow today's I-80. Yard was across from Stroudsburg Cemetery. Tim Stuy: Mike Ballburn The WB&E has been gone since 1939. Robert Davenport: Mike Ballburn this version of the USGS map confirms the location of the Wilkes-Barre and Eastern station at Stroudsburg. The station was located on the “extension of fifth Street” beyond Storm Street. The current bridge over McMichaels Creek replaced the bridge on this extension. The building that once housed the VFW and now houses a surgical center is shown on the extension. The WB and E station is shown next to that building at the end of the extension. This map also shows the switch where the WB&E sprang from the New York Susquehanna and Western. Currently, there are two roads on the south side of route 80 adjacent to Brodhead Creek. The one closest to the creek was Storm Street; the one furthest from the street was the NYS & W. |

| Richard Shulby commented on Rolando's share They were located just south of the cemetery, on the south side of I-80 where Alpha Recycling is at 40°58'43.31"N 75°12'10.56"W. Apparently, the engine repair and machine shop building lasted until sometime between 1970 and 1981, and the only early building left according to a brief history is the blacksmith shop- see attached 1912 Sanborn map. The Wilkes Barre & Eastern (WB&E) was apparently a wholly-owned subsidiary of the NYS&W. GREAT PHOTO! Thanks for posting! |
And the NYS&W (New York, Susquehanna and Western) became the DL&W (Delaware, Lackawanna & Western).
