Honesdale train to resume operations

Posted

HONESDALE, PA — Delaware Lackawaxen & Stourbridge Railroad Company (DL&S) has filed an application to operate a train on the 24-mile rail line between Lackawaxen, Hawley and Honesdale. DL&S has worked out an operating agreement with Stourbridge Railroad Company (SBRR), the owner of the line.

The agreement provides that DL&S will be the exclusive common carrier freight and passenger operator on the line. DL&S certifies that its projected annual revenues as a result of this transaction will not exceed $5 million.

Tourist train rides were halted in September 2012 after 30 years of operations because of a lack of funding.

The train is expected to make its first run in May 2015.
