| The Lehigh Valley Auburn Branch left the main at Sayre PA, running east through Owego, then turning north to head to its namesake town of Auburn, at the north end of Owasco Lake. At Conrail start up, it was abandoned north of Dryden, with CR operating it under contract for NYDOT. That lasted only a few years, and the D&H ran the branch, now only as far as Harford Mills to a gas storage facility, before the Tioga Central took over operation. For much of the distance from Owego north, it followed NY 38, often within sight. Though the track had long been removed by this time, some structures remained, such as this through truss just south of a crossing near Groton. |
