| Darren Reynolds posted SS# 774 (U) tower has seen better days... I have no information on this tower Samuel Wills: Manunka Chunk, NJ, Junction of the DL&W old road and the PRR Bel-Del branch William Strassner: Once again, the mechanical machine works [signalling pipelines] assisted in keeping the tower there... Erie SF, CNJ RH all stabilized somewhat by mech plant connections... |
On the left side of the photo, we see the north portal of the Manunka Chunk Tunnels.

| David J. Monte Verde commented on Darren's photo Samuel Wills you are 💯 % correct .THE OLD DL&W & PRR Bel-Del, Pennsy trains entered the old [pre Cut Off] Lackawanna Main & ran from Philly to East Stroudsburg the DL&W serviced the Pennsy engines at the Gravel Place Pocono East Slope roundhouse ! The 2 Railroads lighted & filled in the bases and the small interchange yard there. About 5 years ago the there was another flood through the tunnels & wiped out the entire hillside right down to the NJ State highway and it was all filled with rip-rap. The Old Lackawanna Main had been removed in the late 1960s |
Pennsy is the route to the southwest, so the D&LW must be the route through the tunnel.
