D&H 758 759 762 at Starucca - a photo on Flickriver

            When the D&H acquired the ex. EL/DL&W between Binghamton and Scranton, the original D&H Penn Division stopped functioning as a through route.  The northern end was kept active to accommodate high-and-wide cars north of Binghamton that were too high for the Belden Hill Tunnel.

In the early years of Guilford control of the D&H, a project commenced to increase the clearance in the Belden Hill Tunnel.  As part of this, the Belden Hill Tunnel was totally closed to traffic.

Trains would detour east from Binghamton on the CR/EL Southern Tier to the D&H Penn Division at Jeff Jct.  From Jeff Jct., trains would head north and rejoin the D&H at Ninevah Jct.

The first daylight movement at Starrucca would be this southbound.  The head end power has cut away and is now on the north end of the train.  This is a shot from on top of the viaduct of the helpers pulling the train south to Jeff Jct.  Kodachrome 64 scan.
