The Tobyhanna Station site is located in Coolbaugh Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania and forms part of a site owned by a number of public and private entities including the Pennsylvania Northeast Regional Rail Authority. The site is adjacent to the former rail station; the building is still in place and is in use as the local historical society rail museum. A 102-space surface parking lot will be provided at this location, and it will be situated on the vacant side and rear portions of this site. Access to this site will be from Church Street (the local name for Pennsylvania Route 423).[3]

Rail services to New York City, Hoboken, NJ, and northern New Jersey will run via the Lackawanna Cut-Off.
