Everything about Pennsylvania Northeast Regional Rail Authority totally explained
Pennsylvania Northeast Regional Rail Authority is a bi-county creation of both
Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania and
Monroe County, Pennsylvania to oversee the use of common rail freight lines in
Northeastern Pennsylvania, including one formerly owned by
Conrail running from
Scranton, Pennsylvania, through the
Pocono Mountains towards
New Jersey and the
New York City market.
Overview
In February, 2006, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, and Monroe County, Pennsylvania, agreed to merge their rail authorities.
The consensus reached was that the operation of the railroad needed to a multi-county venture and that a regional approach was necessary as trackage begins and ends outside individual county boundaries. In addition, it was felt that the pooling of resources was necessary in order to operate a railroad in a very competitive environment and, conversely, to obtain the funding necessary to operate a railroad from the State and Federal governments.
The Lackawanna Railroad Authority, established in 1985 has over $16 million dollars in assets and operates more than 66 miles of track in Lackawanna, Wayne and Monroe Counties. The Monroe County Rail Authority was created in 1980, and controls over $12 million in assets with trackage totaling 29 miles.
Its primary objective is to re-establish rail passenger service with
New Jersey Transit between Scranton and
Hoboken, New Jersey by way of the
New Jersey Cut-Off, with connecting service into
Manhattan, New York.
The designated freight operator of the lines in Pennsylvania is the
Delaware-Lackawanna Railroad.
