 Each plane contained a single track, with an automatically switched siding in the center where the loaded and empty cars could pass.The descent of loaded cars between Waymart and Honesdale was interrupted by only a single plane at Prompton, where the track crossed to the north bank of the river and followed its course to Honesdale.From Waymart to Prompton, loaded cars coasted down the "six-mile level" (), and after descending the plane at Prompton, were drawn by horses to the Honesdale terminal over the "four-mile level" ().
