The Bowman's Creek Branch railroad was abandoned on December 22, 1963. This information is corroborated by multiple sources, including a document from Harveys Lake which states, "On Sunday, December 22, 1963, at 12:01 a.m., the Lehigh Valley Railroad formally abandoned the Bowman's Creek Branch from Luzerne to Dallas" [1]. Additionally, another source mentions that freight traffic continued on the line through the end of 1977 when it was abandoned [2], but the formal abandonment date is consistent as December 22, 1963. Here is an image of a historical map showing the route of the Bowman's Creek Branch 3.
