History
Until 1947, Tobyhanna was a flagstop that was eastbound on Sundays for the ''Lackawanna Limited,'' the predecessor to the ''Phoebe Snow (train), Phoebe Snow.'' Through the end of the 1950s, a few trains made station stops in Tobyhanna. In 1959, these trains were the westbound ''Scrantonian,'' which traveled to Scranton, the ''Twilight,'' a late afternoon train bound for Buffalo, and an unnamed train that also traveled to Scranton. Eastbound, service that year consisted of the ''Pocono Express'' from Buffalo, the ''Merchants Express'' from Scranton and an unnamed evening train from Scranton. Service in the last years was limited to the ''Twilight'' and the ''Poconos Express'' with the trains terminating or originating at Scranton. Passenger service ended with the discontinuation of these trains in the fall of 1965.Absent from Erie Lackawanna timetable, December 13, 1965, Table 1 Restoration of passenger service has been proposed for the Lackawanna Cut-Off, offering trains to northern New Jersey and New York City. A 102-space surface parking lot has also been proposed at this location to be situated on the vacant side and rear portions of this site. The proposed platform would be to the south of the track, north of Pennsylvania Route 423, Church Street.References
