The Pennsylvania Northeast Regional Railroad Authority (PNRRA) is a bi-county creation of both Lackawanna and Monroe counties to oversee the use of common rail freight lines in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The designated freight operator of the Pennsylvania Northeast Regional Rail Authority lines is the Delaware-Lackawanna Railroad and tourism operator is Steamtown National Historic Site.
One of its primary objectives is to re-establish rail passenger service with New Jersey Transit between Scranton, Pennsylvania and Hoboken, New Jersey by way of the Lackawanna Cut-Off, with connecting service to Manhattan. Amtrak is also a possibility for passenger rail service to Scranton by way of the Lackawanna Cut-Off.
