Scranton Railway

A promotional book produced by the city's Board of Trade touted the "Gateway to the Clouds", a 12-mile, 54-minute ride from downtown Scranton that rose 1,200 feet to the resort area of Lake Moosic.

[1] This route traveled over the leased Scranton, Dunmore, and Moosic Lake Railroad.

Long suburban lines were cut back as buses began to appear.

[8] In 1925, it abandoned service from Old Forge to Duryea, where there was a connection to Wilkes-Barre.

[8] From 1925-28, the company was owned by National Public Service Corporation, which was soon taken over by Chicago businessman Samuel Insull's Middle West Utilities Co. Insull's Chicago-based business empire collapsed in 1932,[9] whereupon the company passed to the Municipal Service Co.[10] In 1934, the Scranton Railway was reorganized as Scranton Transit Company.
