“After leaving Lackawaxen you continue to follow the course of the Delaware in its tortuous and picturesque windings among the mountains, and are ever greeted with new and charming scenes, at some places intensely interesting.
“At Callicoon, where the train next stops, a scene of remarkable beauty occurs, which is only equalled by that of the famous Starucca Viaduct, which you witness after leaving Hancock and Deposit, and when near Susquehanna, at which last-named station the train stops for dinner.
“You have now arrived at Susquehanna, the terminus of the Delaware Division; have dined at the Company’s eating-house, where you found the table unexceptionable, and the attendance all that could be desired; and the trip thus far having proved neither tiresome nor monotonous, but on the contrary full of excitement and interest, you cheerfully resume your place in the palace-coach, and await the signal of the conductor for the train to proceed.
“Meantime you catch a glimpse of the extensive repair shops of the Company at Susquehanna, which furnish employment for a large force of mechanics and laborers, and also of a branch railway running south to Carbondale and the coal mines of Pennsylvania.—The Erie Railway Tourist,” 1874, p. 17.
