Wilkes-Barre & Hazelton Ry.

Lehigh Traction Co.

WB&H was an electric railway in Luzerne County connecting the cities of Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton. It operated from 1903 to 1933 using a third rail and had no grade crossings. It was approximately thirty miles long and had one tunnel between Warrior Run and Nuangola through Penobscot Knob which Interstate 81 now crosses.

Prominent Hazleton banker and coal-mine owner Alvin Markle obtained a railway-company charter in 1892 and the Wilkes-Barre & Hazleton Railroad incorporated in New Jersey in 1899. Service opened from Hazleton to Ashley in 1903 but did not reach Wilkes-Barre until the 1907 completion of a 3rd-floor downtown station with a viaduct 34 feet in height and 1040 feet in length. General Electric had the contract for providing the electrification infrastructure. The completion of Route 309 greatly shortened the trip between Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton by road, leading to the Interstate Commerce Commission approval of abandonment in 1933.

The company's subsidiary, the LTC, operated a 22 mile trolley line between Hazleton and Freeland, serving an anthracite mining area.  It was built in 1893 and abandonded in 1932.
