Delaware-Lackawanna business increasing

On 8/7/08 we received an email with the following numbers about the Delaware-Lackawana Railroad's interchange with Norfolk Southern:

• last week they interchanged 60 freight cars
• last Friday's train was 25 cars

I don't know what the interchange traffic has been so far this year, but I am told that this is an increase.

From the Delarare-Lackawana Railroad web site:

Operates 87 miles of trackage running out of the Lackawanna Valley from a connection with CP Rail at Scranton, Pennsylvania through the Pocono Mountains to the Delaware Water Gap and a connection with Norfolk Southern at Portland, Pennsylvania. Two major lines also run out of Scranton servicing the industrial base in the Lackawanna Valley.
