Guard your valuables, partner! Masked marauders ambush the Stourbridge Line on a round trip from Honesdale to Hawley. This 3 1/2 hour ride includes a one-hour stopover for shopping and sightseeing. RESERVATIONS REQUIRED to guarantee seating.







Your first step onto the Stourbridge Line takes you back into history - you board this passenger train on the site of the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company's boat basin. From this terminus, anthracite coal - brought to the basin by the D&H's gravity railroad from Carbondale and the Lackawanna Valley - made its 108-mile journey from northeastern Pennsylvania to New York City. If you would have gazed westward (up the hill) from this point in those days, you would have seen nothing but coal.





Honesdale is the birthplace of the American railroad and the small brick building which now houses the Wayne County Historical Society was once the D&H Canal's company office. On August 8, 1829, the Delaware & Hudson operated the first commercial locomotive on rails in the western hemisphere. That locomotive left from this spot, ran three miles to Seelyville and returned.
