- Lehigh_and_Susquehanna_Railroad abstract "The Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad was a shortline railroad subsidiary of the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company that originated under an 1837 act of the legislature of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to connect coal loading facilities along the Navigations improving the Susquehanna River (acting as the Pennsylvania Canal) to connect the Northern Coal Region at Wilkes-Barre (elevation ca 690 feet (210.3 m)) via their local funicular railroad leg known as the Ashley Planes to the standard railroad trackage and rail yard nearly a 1,000 feet (304.8 m) above in Penobscot, PA (Now Mountain Top, Pennsylvania in Fairview Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania).In a second phase of construction, the railroad completed a double-tracked route descending to Avoca/Duryea & Dupont, PA via a more circuitous and winding route up the difficult grade from the north end of the Solomon Gap. Both branchlines transited the gap to the Mountain Top railroad staging yard that the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad established in the flat terrain of the saddle about two miles from the mine's incline plane rail road. This roadbed is paralleled by Pennsylvania Route 437, and the road was extended to White Haven, Pennsylvania where northern construction was held off while the lines' trackage from Easton on the Delaware to Mauch Chunk below the Lehigh River Gorge was assayed. The railroad was in no hurry to connect it's two halves by construction of trackage along the Lehigh gorge until the upstart Lehigh Valley pushed into East Mauch Chunk and began building up through the gorge on the left bank. Centered in the right bank town of Mauch Chunk the LH&S finally moved with alacrity to connect both its halves. The trackage established by the railroad was double-tracked from the Mountain Top Yard to Laurel Run, and other early trackage extended to Hudson Junction at Miner St. Jct. 1st St in Wilkes-Barre—which connected other railroads and to Tayor yard and Scranton, Pennsylvania.".
