   Aw, come on.  That line goes through the upper Delaware and the Catskills,   
   with towns like Hancock (pop 1031) and Deposit (pop 1700.)   
      
   If there were some way to route the a train through Scranton and   
   Stroudsburg or Easton there might be enough traffic to make it   
   worthwhile, but I doubt there's usable rails.
