Stourbridge Line Rail Excursions

Address: 303 Commercial St., Honesdale, PENNSYLVANIA, 18431 USA. Tel.: (570) 253-1960 Toll Free:
|
|
The Wayne County Chamber of Commerce owns and operates the Stourbridge Line Rail Excursions. Your first step onto the Stourbridge Line takes you back into history - you board this passenger train on the site of the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company's boat basin. From this terminus, anthracite coal - brought to the basin by the D&H's gravity railroad from Carbondale and the Lackawanna Valley - made its 108-mile journey from northeastern Pennsylvania to New York City. If you would have gazed westward (up the hill) from this point in those days, you would have seen nothing but coal. Join us for a fascinating trip.. a trip you will remember for years to come!

The West Chester Railroad runs between Market Street in West Chester, Chester Co. and the village of Glen Mills, Delaware Co., Penna.

It is believed that the station may have been designed by the noted Philadelphia architect, Frank Furness.
