First Portland Turn over the repaired Bells Bridge on the Delaware Lackawanna

Norfolk Southern changes with the DL at Slatford. What railroad was it before NS and Conrail ? Does NS come up from Allentown ?

@johnmventre Delaware Lackawanna & Western. Yes, NS runs up from Allentown. Historically speaking, they turn off the Lehigh line to the Bel -Del (across the LHR bridge to Phillipsburg) cross the Delaware River again at Martins Creek onto the DL&W.
