Stourbridge Lion to the Stourbridge Line begins with the Stourbridge Lion, the first run of a steam locomotive in the United States on August 8, 1829, making a round trip between Honesdale and Seely's Mills, Pennsylvania. The Delaware & Hudson Railroad (which replaced the gravity railroad in 1899), Erie Lackawanna Railroad, Norfolk Southern Railway, CSX Transportation, Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC), along with the smaller railroads (Reading Blue Mountain & Northern Railroad, New York Susquehanna & Western Railroad, and Delaware-Lackawanna Railroad) are included in this book along with The Stourbridge Line which covers a nine-mile line between Honesdale and Hawley, Pennsylvania, of the former Erie Railroad, which once had direct railroad passenger service from Honesdale, Pennsylvania, to New York City.
