Dave,
Hudson is just north-east of Wilkes Barre. I don't think Hudson yard is still in use. It is where the interchange used to be after Conrail started up.
As for how long it took; I imagine deferred track and equipment work as well as Conrail caused delays were the reasons for the long trip. Remember, the D&H was only holding on by threads at this time. Before Conrail, the trip would have been 4-6 hours, I'm sure.
