The 5th St Bridge
A Shortcut Into Town
For the residents on Terrace St and others on "the hill", this bridge serves a shortcut for walking into town. Just across the bridge sits St. Johns Catholic Church built for the Irish congregation in 1876. Under this bridge The Delaware Lackawaxen & Stourbridge Railroad operates its excursion train, "The Stourbridge Line" , originally started by the Wayne County Chamber of Commerce. The train has provided over a million passengers with breathtaking views along the Lackawaxen River since it's beginning back in 1979. Previous to that the Erie Lackawanna Railroad operated both freight and passenger trains. The D& H Canal Company sent thousands of canal boats through here on their way to and from the Hudson River and continuing on to New York City.
