    Description
    The
    Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad Company
    (
    DL&W
    or
    Lackawanna Railroad
    ) was a U.S. Class 1 railroad that
    connected Buffalo, New York with Hoboken, New Jersey
    , a distance of about 400 miles.
    Incorporated in 1853
    , the DL&W was profitable during the first two decades of the twentieth century, but its margins were gradually hurt by declining traffic in coal, competition from trucks, and high New Jersey taxes.
    In 1960, the DL&W merged with rival
    Erie Railroad
    to form the
    Erie Lackawanna Railroad
    .
    For auction is a Lackawanna suburban timetable dated April 27, 1952
