Notes...

Alford - Adjacent tower operated from 1914-1938 and controlled the jct. with the Montrose Branch. Also controlled a 3rd track that ran from Alford to Kingsley.

Susquehanna Depot - Magnificent 3 story Gothic Revival station hotel, first brick passenger station in North America. Dining hall served passengers before advent of dining cars. Entered the National Register of Historic Buildings in 1978. -- Jim Dent

Thompson - Prior to January, 1955 the D&H's Pennsylvania Division (Susquehanna to Carbondale) was owned and operated by the Erie as its Jefferson Division so the station is of Erie ancestry. D&H purchased the line in 1955. Thompson station remained an Erie and EL agency even after the
D&H purchased the Jefferson Branch from the Erie in 1955. D&H owned the actual building, and I know the D&H track tool house was in the station, but it remained an EL agency up until Conrail in 1976. EL retained trackage rights on the Jefferson Branch, and operated on it to serve local customers.
