The Lehigh New England had a branch that ran from Saylorsburg Jct. to Saylorsburg. It was abandoned in the 1920's.

If my memory was better or I opened the history book of the LNE I would have seen mentions of the 5.7 mile Saylorsburg Branch of the LNE! But it is hard to find without maps, index, nor timetables prior to 1925! So, safely we can say it was the LNE branch and not a trolley line up from Pen Argyle/Wind Gap area to Saylorsburg somehow.
