[6] The Susquehanna, Bloomsburg and Berwick began as the Wilkes-Barre and Western Railway, incorporated on June 22, 1886 to build from Watsontown to Shickshinny.
[12] By 1891, the road extended as far east as Orangeville, but this course was abandoned in favor of routing the railroad to Berwick via Lightstreet.
[11] The Susquehanna, Bloomsburg, and Berwick Railroad originally only ran from Watsontown to Lightstreet, Pennsylvania.
[1] In that year, the railroad company discontinued its branch line from Eyers Grove to Orangeville due to a lack of business.
[2] However, the rail line continued to be used for other purposes until the late 1960s, when the American Car and Foundry plant in Berwick closed.
After the closing of the plant, the railroad's use was negligible and the tracks entered a state of disrepair.
[14] The railroad had stations in Watsontown, McEwensville, Warrior Run, Turbotville, Schuyler, Ottawa, Washingtonville, Derry, Jerseytown, Eyers Grove, Millville, Buckhorn, Paper Mill, Lightstreet, Bloomsburg, Cabin Run, Fowlersville, Dennis Mills, and Berwick.
[16] The Susquehanna, Bloomsburg, and Berwick Railroad started in Watsontown, and, passing through Jerseytown, Mordansville.
[11] Despite usually running only six days a week, trains would sometimes go along the railroad on Sundays to the Bloomsburg fairgrounds and picnic grounds at Eyers Grove.
In the 21st century, the remaining part of the railroad is used to provide service to the PPL Corporation plant.
