Upon leaving Tobyhanna, the train passes by one of the Lackawanna's classic concrete towers, one of several still intact on the line. The Pocono Mountains group has started restoring the tower, as well.

Another restored station sits at Cresco. This one has been restored by the Barret Township Historical Society.

After passing through Analomink, the former end of operations for the D-L, the train arrives in East Stroudsburg where the only surviving non-concrete tower on the line is located. Also in East Stroudsburg is the former Lackawanna passenger station, now restored and housing a fine restaurant.

The Delaware Water Gap formes the backdrop as the train pases through Slateford Junction. The Delaware River passes through the Water Gap, and over the years the DL&W, Pennsylvania Route 611 and Interstate 80 have been added to the narrow passage. The Gap is now a National Recreation Area administered by the National Park Service. Slateford Junction is the spot where the original Lackawanna main line (which the train is on) and the famed Lackawanna Cut-Off split. The roadbed for the Cut-Off is the ballasted area in the foreground. Passenger service may soon return to the Cut-Off connecting Hoboken, New Jersey, and Scranton.
