Bring the Lackawanna story to your desk and keep a classic railroad close during the workday. Founded in 1853, the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad grew from coal routes in northeastern Pennsylvania into a 395-mile system reaching Buffalo and Hoboken. Its terminals, passenger trains and boldly engineered Cut-Off lines linked communities and markets across the region. This mouse pad is a thoughtful desk accent for railroad enthusiasts, history-minded collectors and anyone drawn to the routes that helped shape Scranton and beyond.
Incorporated in Pennsylvania on March 11, 1853, through the consolidation of the Lackawanna and Western Railroad and the Delaware and Cobb’s Gap Railroad, the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad grew from earlier lines serving Scranton and northeastern Pennsylvania. Its original purpose was to carry anthracite coal to major markets in New York City. The railroad expanded east to Hoboken, New Jersey, with connections to New York City by ferry, and west to Buffalo, New York, eventually operating a 395-mile route. Major developments included the Morris and Essex Railroad acquisition in 1868, the opening of the New York, Lackawanna and Western line to Buffalo in 1882, and new terminals in Hoboken, Scranton and Buffalo. The Lackawanna Cut-Off opened in New Jersey in 1911, followed by the Summit-Hallstead Cut-Off in Pennsylvania, built from 1912 to 1915. Declining coal traffic and competition from trucks weakened the railroad. On October 17, 1960, it merged with the Erie Railroad to form the Erie Lackawanna Railroad. Conrail took over the successor on April 1, 1976. Later operators and owners of former routes include NJ Transit, Norfolk Southern, Delaware and Hudson, and regional rail operators.
