After seeing Steve Carlson's photo of DL&W RS11 1804 at East Stroudsburg yesterday, I had to go check and see if I had uploaded all my shots from the two times I've gotten the RS11 on the Pocono Main. Here we have PT-98 cresting the grade at Pocono Summit in a splash of sunlight on a trying afternoon, with 1804 leading 3642, 3000 and 211.
Having just picked up grain loads off the NS at Portland, PT-97 ducks under the old Lackawanna Cutoff viaduct on its way back north to home rails.
DL PO-84 was sent out ahead of the PO-74 to pick up empties from the grain mill at Pocono Summit, and is returning west for Scranton at Elmhurst, PA. They'll soon meet the PO-74 at Winton, which will then come east for Slateford.
Under a plume of smoke the DL PO-74 departs Scranton with the usual trio of 6 axle Alco/MLW products hauling a decent train for points east.
Delaware Lackawanna PO74 emerges from the fog at Pocono Summit, PA with a four pack of ALCo/MLW locomotives.
DL PO-74 has arrived at Pocono Summit with a quintet of the companies ALCOs on the point. With mostly grain cars for Ardent Mills behind them & only a few hours left to work, the crew will take only the grains cars & work Ardent Mills before calling it a day.
Also having the companies 2 Erie Lackawanna C425s on the point was an added bonus since they would have ran on this line regularly back in the 60s & 70s. 10-19-21

PT98 has just crested the summit of the former Lackawanna mainline at Pocono Summit. Like many of the communities along the DL main, the Pocono Summit depot still stands, though it looked unused during our fall 2016 visit.
