The eastbound trains cross the Starrucca Viaduct on their way to Gulf Summit.

| Randy Jaye posted The Erie Railroad Station in Susquehanna, Pennsylvania was built by the Erie Railway (later reorganized as the Erie Railroad) in 1863. The three-story Gothic Revival structure included a large hotel, called Starrucca House, with rooms for 200 people and a 120 feet long dining room. Overall building size is 327 feet length by 40 feet width. The railroad converted the hotel into offices and sleeping quarters for railroad personnel c. 1903. Alterations were made to the building in 1913 and 1917. The Erie Railroad merged into the Erie Lackawanna Railroad in 1960, which ended passenger train service over the former Erie Delaware Division through Susquehanna in 1966. The last passenger trains were the Atlantic Express/Pacific Express and unnamed trains to Binghamton timed to meet up with the Phoebe Snow. All remaining passenger service, on the former Lackawanna route via Scranton, Pennsylvania, was discontinued on January 6, 1970. The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Ed Johnson shared |
Street view drivers are not allowed to drive by the depot. I wonder who moved the crossing guard tower here.
