The DL&W was made to transportanthracite coal in Pennsylvania's Lackawanna Valley. Eventually it ran from the Lackawanna Valley in Pennsylvania west to Buffalo, N.Y., north to Lake Ontario, and east to Hoboken, N.J. The DL&W also ran thru Scranton where there is a restored railyard, Steamtown NHS, and south thru Sunbury. It also used the Nicholson Viaduct which is a huge stone arched bridge crossing the valley floor over Nicholson, PA. The viaduct 240 feet high and 2,300 feet long and still stands today. The Lackawanna prospered in the early 20th century, but with the decline of coal heating and the rise of competing modes of transportation, its revenues fell. The Erie was chartered in 1832. The Erie railroad transported passengers and freight between New York City, Buffalo, Cleveland and Chicago. These two railroads merged in 1960 to become the Erie Lackawanna railroad. In 1972 the Erie Lackawanna became bankrupt, and in 1976 it was taken over by Conrail. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; line-height: 15px; ">Source: Internet, 1998

Norton after the Spanish American War when he was 12 years old. Patrick Norton may have died of yellow fever. My father dropped out of school when his father died. He worked peddling produce from a horse drawn wagon. In 1906, when my dad was 15, he worked as a messenger boy for the Lackawana Railroad. In later life he was a friend of Vince Lombardi. Thomas Patrick Norton I (1891-1968) had a heart attack while watching a football game on TV. The game was between the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys for the National Football League Championship in December 1968. He died a week later at the hospital in Lakewood, NJ where he had a second heart attack. He played cards and darts at a local bar after his first wife died, and was a heavy drinker. James Joseph Norton I (1927- ) had to take care of him during that time. I was at Rockland Country Club when he died. Thomas Patrick Norton I (1891-1968) won an Oldsmobile car in a raffle, he was not a good driver and his wife made him sell it after a year. Once, when they were driving he hit the railroad tracks so hard that Mary Margaret Burke hit her head on the roof of the car. Another time when driving on the wooden paving blocks on Bergen Avenue in the rain he did a 180 degree skid. He once took the door off a parked car when the man opened it to get out of his car. Once, when crossing the railroad tracks, he made it through one gate but crashed through the second one on the other side. He bought the two family house at 603 Garfield Avenue in Jersey City for $13,000 in 1920. During the Depression no one could pay their taxes so the town kept raising the taxes on those that could pay. Jersey City had a very high tax rate. He ended up selling the house in 1958 for $13,500. He held on to the house during the Depression even though it was never rented. The rental rate was $25 per month. One time I helped Josephine Burke with her taxes and realized that she had no savings. I hated Mayor Hague as a politician in Jersey City. At one time there was a famous bookie called "Newsboy Moriarity". He could always be found in Journal Square wearing a long overcoat. At one point a car trunk was found full of money and the car was traced back to him. Moriarity was in jail at the time. This was after the war. At one point the first floor apartment at 603 Garfield Avenue, which was owned by my parents was used by a "bagwomen" who collected all the money from illegal gambling in Jersey City for Moriarty. Dave "three finger" Brown was the bookie to see in the store that Tom Norton worked in when he was 16. Vincent Norton worked at an ice cream parlor run by a German in Jersey City. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; line-height: 15px; ">Source: Thomas Patrick Norton, Oral Testimony, 1998

His parents were immigrants from Ireland and he was their first child. In 1900 he was 9 years old and living at 101 Bright Avenue in Jersey City with his brother and sister. Sharing the house was his father's brother John who was 38. In 1906 he took a job at the Lackawana RR in Hoboken, NJ as a messenger. On June 12, 1917, at age 26 Thomas enlisted as a private in the U.S. Army. After boot camp at Fort Dix he joined the American Expeditionary Forces on June 11, 1918 to fight in France during WWI. He was assigned to Ambulance Company 310 as a member of the 303 Sanitary Train. Returning from the war he married Mary Margaret Burke in 1919. They had their first child in 1920 while living at 112-14 Romaine Avenue in Jersey City. In the 1949 Mary died of appendicitis and Thomas turned to a life of drink until he married Josephine Burke in 1950. Josephine was Mary's half-sister. Thomas had a heart attack in 1968 while watching the pre Super Bowl football game where Vince Lombardi was coaching. He died two days before Super Bowl Sunday. It was a record cold spell in Jersey City. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; line-height: 15px; ">Source: Richard Arthur Norton, Written Testimony, 1998
