Water Gap and Schuylkill Railroad
The Water Gap and Schuylkill Railroad was a proposed railroad in eastern Pennsylvania to connect Pottsville with Stroudsburg. Chartered in 1881, it would have carried coal produced by the Alliance Coal Company near Pottsville to the New Jersey Midland Railway, but the coal company reached an agreement with the Central Railroad of New Jersey to carry that traffic before construction could start on the Water Gap and Schuylkill.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
