Passenger service between New York via Hoboken, NJ, Scranton, PA, and Buffalo, NY was aptly handled by the DL&W, 'The Road of Anthracite'. This 'hard coal carrier' provided first-rate accommodations in the cars of 'The Lackawanna Limited' which went on to become 'The Phoebe Snow' in 1949. In these circa 1915 and 1920 cards, we see DL&W's Train #1 pulled by two kinds of motive power while dining car porters stand ready to show us to our table. In the first postcard, note the lower quadrant semaphore.
