The Lackawanna & Wyoming Valley Railway Historical Society is pleased to announce that our 2023 Railway Calendar is now available for sale. This 44th edition of our calendar includes a color cover and an assorted color and black and white photos of rails in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
In 2023 we celebrate two important anniversaries. This year marks the 50th anniversary of our Chapter, which is named for the Lackawanna & Wyoming Valley Railroad, an all-electric line that connected Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. We received a charter from the National Railway Historical Society on November 11, 1973. 2023 is also the 200th anniversary of the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company, which later became the Delaware & Hudson Railroad. The D&H received its charter in April, 1823. The D&H was an important railroad carrier in our region with major facilities in both Lackawanna and Luzerne counties.
Because of these two anniversaries we have decided, for 2023 only, to modify the usual calendar format to have all photos recognize both the Delaware Hudson Railroad and the Lackawanna & Wyoming Valley Railroad, better known as the Laurel Line. We have included a variety of D&H and L&WV photos in this special edition of the calendar. We have also included bonus photos, making a total of 18 pictures including the cover.
