The Canadian Pacific Railway took over the D&H, but kept the D&H in existence instead of absorbing the D&H into Canadian Pacifc. Canadian Pacific's take over of the D&H included the D&H South Line and Canadian Pacifc reformed the D&H South Line into two new rail lines. The D&H South Line from Sunbury to Binghamton made up of PRR Wilkes-Barre Branch and Delaware, Lackawanna and Western main line trackage (which includes the Nicholson Cutoff) became the new Sunbury Line and the D&H South Line from Binghamton to Schenectady trackage once part of the D&H main line became its own rail line as well and was not added back to the D&H main line.
