 The PRR Wilkes-Barre Branch was passed to Penn Central which was the merger between the PRR and the New York Central Railroad.Today the former PRR Wilkes-Barre Branch from Wilkes-Barre to Hanover Township is owned by Luzerne County and operated by the Luzerne Susquehanna Railway.The remainder of the PRR Wilkes-Barre Branch that is now part of the Sunbury Line now runs Sunbury to Hanover Township in what was the Buttonwood Yard of the PRR.
