The Sunbury Line is a former Pennsylvania Railroad property connecting its core system with the other anthracite rail lines in and around Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania; the line's Pennsylvania Railroad trackage was once the Wilkes-Barre Branch. The Sunbury Line is also a former Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad property as the Sunbury Line's Scranton, Pennsylvania, to Binghamton trackage was once part of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western main line; this part of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western main line which is now part of the Sunbury Line contains the Nicholson Cutoff and former Lackawanna and Western Railroad trackage. The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western later merged with the Erie Railroad to form the Erie Lackawanna Railway.
