East of the troublesome junction "Slateford Junction" is the Tobyhanna Army Depot and crossovers, where most of the eastbound trains stopped and cut off their helpers. From the junction to Tobyhanna station proper the track is on a slight downgrade to return to a comfortable operating height. The grade levels at the crossovers, however, to make cutting the helpers off a little easier (no chasing a runaway caboose!)

The photo below shows the crossovers and Army Depot switch. As on the prototype, the station is to the right around the bend. Normally, eastbound trains stopped here and cut off the helpers, which would have been placed ahead of the caboose. The caboose was re-attached to the train, and the helpers ran light back to Scranton.

Following is an overhead view showing the relationship of the crossovers and Depot Switch:

Here's a view from the aisle:

Around the bend are the Tobyhanna station and tower, another of those wonderful concrete towers. Tobyhanna also had a couple of sidings which, in 1975, saw some traffic. The "Station Track" was used for loading pulpwood into gondolas, and the west leg of the wye -- used during steam days to turn the helpers -- was used to unload utility poles from bulkhead flatcars.
