==Transportation== [[Skyhaven Airport (Pennsylvania)|Skyhaven Airport]] is a public use [[airport]] located in Wyoming County, one nautical mile (1.85 km) south of the [[central business district]] of [[Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania|Tunkhannock]].<ref>{{FAA-airport|ID=76N|use=PU|own=PR|site=21640.*A}}. Federal Aviation Administration. Effective February 11, 2010.</ref> With the town sited on the lower end of the upper third of the Susquehanna, busily wending its way south to the [[Chesapeake Bay]], the river banks to either side the whole length of the Susquehanna were historically used as a [[rail transport]] corridor with competing railroads typically making their way on either side on the important NYC and Philadelphia to [[Buffalo, New York]] routes connecting the eastern seaboard to cities such as Chicago on the [[Great Lakes]]; towns like Tunkhannock played an important role in the highly competitive stakes for such high profit passenger expresses for steam locomotives had surprisingly short cruising ranges and passenger travel had higher earnings than freight. Today, except for select parts, the river bank [[rail transport]] infrastructures remaining are mainly left bank located assets of a single railroad's operations department, even shared roads (operated over by several lines) these days use the single corridor along the east/left river bank connecting the large [[Sayre Yard]] on the stateline in [[Sayre, Pennsylvania]] further upriver to the transitional [[Duryea yard]]. After the collapse of Conrail, trackage on the Northern Susquehanna is operated by [[Norfolk Southern]], with some areas sublet to other road companies. The trackage running through [[Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania|Tunkhannock]] [[Pennsylvania Route 29]], a continuation of [[Pennsylvania Route 309|PA-309]] from [[Philadelphia]] and [[Allentown, Pennsylvania|Allentown]], connects to the [[New York (state)|New York]] state line providing north–south road connections by secondary highway while [[Pennsylvania Route 92|PA-92]], and especially [[U.S. Route 6]], provide major east–west secondary highway access to the region.
