Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad fate: does it still exist?

Does the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad still exist? There's an ongoing discussion on this Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad fate topic. Granthew (talk) 20:37, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article says "Today, the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad is a holding company founded in 1837 that continues to lease out the trackage rights for several important rail corridors in Eastern Pennsylvania's Anthracite Coal Region to various successor railroad operating companies replacing Penn Central and Conrail." --DThomsen8 (talk) 02:05, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't asking a question, I decided that should be the appropriate title for the discussion. You can't just put that it is a holding company today, it has to be backed up with references. Granthew (talk) 05:22, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tone

I find the whole article structure strange. The primary subject should be the historical company; if a holding company has lingered on that should be discussed later and maybe get a line at the end of the lead. There aren't any references except an aside (which is original research) and a link to a railfanning site. The tone is unencyclopedic, idiosyncratic, and conversational.

Yes. Doing my best to fix it. Want to help? PRRfan (talk) 14:14, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@PRRfan: Finally got around to this. Corporate history only, which the previous version didn't discuss. Mackensen (talk) 14:18, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
