 The gravity line kept that 1868 form for the remainder of its life as a gravity operation.Following the abandonment of the canal in 1898, the gravity line was abandoned and replaced with a steam line, which operated until its abandonment in 1931.The steam line followed the route of the loaded track between Waymart and Honesdale, and a new alignment from Waymart to Carbondale was built around the foot of Moosic Mountain, looping south to Canaan and rejoining the light line near the head of plane no.
