CP Binghamton to Scranton DVD

The former Delaware and Hudson, now Canadian Pacific, line between Binghamton, New York and Scranton, Pennsylvania that contains the two largest reinforced concrete railroad viaducts in the world over Tunkhannock and Martin’s Creeks, was originally part of the Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western’s main line between northern New Jersey and Buffalo. The center portion of this line, the Clarks Summit-Hallstead cutoff that contains the massive concrete viaducts, two-thirds of a mile long Nicholson Tunnel, and many deep cuts, was built as a low-grade super railroad with no grade crossings by the DL&W between 1912 and 1915. That this line is still in use is something of a miracle as it has had several close calls with abandonment and five owners since the Erie – Lackawanna merger in 1960. Today, thanks to complex trackage and haulage rights agreements between CP and Norfolk Southern, the former Lackawanna and EL line between Binghamton and Scranton is still part of the CP system and is the busiest line on the former Delaware and Hudson system. “CP Binghamton to Scranton” shows all the trains for three days and one night on CP’s Sunbury Subdivision between Binghamton and Scranton in August of 2008. “CP Binghamton to Scranton” is 69 minutes in length.  The DVD version of this program has chapters and menus and the option to be watched with or without narration.
