Now is this the same RR as the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western?

[DH7409]

Yes it is.......the main from Scranton to NJ.

DL&W used to go through Norwich as part of the O&W's Auburn Branch- part of the line was taken over by NY Susquehanna and Western till they went belly up after the flood of '06. Now the railway sits abandoned.

No, the DL&W in Norwich was the DL&W. The O&W was the O&W. Two different rail lines, two different railroads. The Auburn Branch was a short lived part of the O&W. The DL&W went to Utica.

That line is still owned by the NYS&W and still operates north of Sherburne.
