The Sunbury Line, formerly known as Sunbury Subdivision, is a rail line owned and operated by Norfolk Southern Railway which in turn is owned by the Norfolk Southern Corporation. The line travels from Sunbury, Pennsylvania, to Binghamton, New York, connecting with Norfolk Southern's Southern Tier Line at Binghamton and Norfolk Southern's Buffalo Line at Sunbury.
The rail line was once part of the former Delaware and Hudson Railway South Line that ran from Sunbury to Schenectady, New York. It is now an NS rail corridor consisting of the Sunbury Line and the Freight Line, which travels from Binghamton to Schenectady.
The Sunbury Line's trackage consists of former trackage that belonged to the rail systems of the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad. The Sunbury Line contains the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western's well-known Nicholson Cutoff railroad segment. The Tunkhannock Viaduct is one of the components of the Nicholson Cutoff/Sunbury Line.
