The 1886 Wilkes-Barre & Western R.R. was completed, it ran from Watsontown To Millville.
In 1900 the railroad was purchased by the Susquehanna Bloomsburg & Berwick (S.B.&B.)
There was also a railroad station at the Warrior Run Church crossing.

SB&B - The Susquehanna, Bloomburg & Berwick Railroad began as the Wilkes Barre & Western Railway. Incorporated on June 22 1886, the WB&B opened in 1887 with 22 miles from Watsontown to Millville.  In 1891 it expanded 9 miles to Orangeville, just south of Millville.

Susquehanna, Bloomsburg and Berwick Railroad (S.B. & B.R.R.) was often called the ‘Sweet Bye and Bye’ because traffic was intermittent, and trains traveled at a slow speed and stopped at every hamlet and feed mill along the route. The Railroad was also referred to as the "Weak and Weary", as it never was a financial success.

The SB&B made stopped at the Truckenmiller Mill.

Today the track is still used by trains transporting coal to the PP&L plant in Washingtonville.

From the Berwick Enterprise, Oct 1902

A New Railroad

Work on the Susquehanna Bloomsburg & Berwick

Railroad was begun at this end on Monday

==============

Work on the Susquehanna, Bloomsburg, and Berwick Railroad is being pushed rapidly and all towns along the route are enjoying a boom and a season of excitement hitherto unknown. The small villages of Mordansville and Light Street are filled with busy workers Shanties have been erected and every empty house is now occupied by transient laborers. Five hundred men the majority of whom are Americans, striking miners, are employed and every day more apply for work. Three hundred are stationed at Mordansville, one hundred at Light Street, and one hundred are at work on this end of the road. At present a mile three quarters of rail have been laid at this end extending from Pine Street down through the Ferris farm. The track runs through the baseball field and between the Steel Plant and the Malleable Iron Works. A vacant house on the Freas farm is sheltering the workmen. The contractor Mr. McManus expects next week to have at work one hundred teams besides fifty horses and carts. It is necessary to get as much of the grading done as possible before the winter comes as the cold weather will delay the work. The building of the road with the exception of about four miles, where it must be built through rock, will be comparatively easy. It is expected that a trestle will have to be built across the creek near Shew's paper mill at Light Street. The Berwick Station will be located at the corner of Sixth and Pine Streets. With the increased railroad facilities that this new road will give to Berwick the substantial boom now being enjoyed and the almost certainty of new industries in the near future, is it any wonder that Berwick's unprecedented era of prosperity is attracting the attention of the entire surrounding country and that the moneyed men are anxious to invest in real estate and business ventures.
