I-80 runs along the eastern (NJ side) of the Delaware river for about 10 miles. On the opposite/western side (PA side), there is currently a single track -- google maps satellite view shows it may still be in service to handle a nearby powerplant -- but the two bridges going across the river no longer are in service. |

And that line is single track now, with NS taking over ownership into East Stroudsburg from the PNERRA.Over on the NJ side across the river, somewhere in that vegetation would be the old NYSW main line, which had I-80 built over it. That would connect to both Gravel Place and the former Wilkes-Barre and Eastern. |
