Warbasse Junction - Then & Now
Where the NYS&W crossed the DL&W's Sussex Branch
An eastbound NYS&W freight approaches the diamond at Warbasse Junction in March of 1949.
The photographer is standing on the DL&W's Sussex branch, looking north with the Warbasse Jct. Road
grade crossing to his back.

More than 50 years later, very little remains at Warbasse Junction (also sometimes reffered to as Hyper-Humus). This
view also looks north on the Lackawanna.
This view looks east across the diamond at a westbound Susquehanna freight in the summer of 1962. Notice the smash-board
at the right.

Looking east across the diamond down the length of the Paulins Kill Valley Trail, at the same location that photographer
John Treen stood not quite 40 years earlier.
