The life and times of the Williamsport and North Branch and Eagles Mere Railroad
PREFACE
The Williamsport and North Branch Railroad with its subsidiary for many years, the Eagles Mere Railroad, provided, while not a typical short line railroad in the United States, certainly a unique All American" line.
Physically located in both valleys and mountainous terrain, its standard and narrow gauge lines operated both rod and geared loco-motives. The W. & N. B. operated an extensive passenger and freight service for the many small towns and toe wide variety of industrial and mining enterprises.
The history of the railroad is more than just a story of a railroad; it also portrays the economic, social, and cultural effects upon the area and the many persons who were its employees, the majority of whom have descendents still living here.
Thirty years have passed since the last train whistle reverberated off the mountains lining Muncy Valley. Few remain who worked for the line. This book is an effort to gather together, before it became too late, in word and photograph, a record of another era.
