Tom Beckett General Good shot showing the present track configuration here. Things have changed a bit since I was first here in 1979, but the connection to the DRRV, then Conrail's ex DL&W Washington Secondary, remains, though it's now been remoted, and the Lehigh Line has been rerouted over the CNJ bridge, where this train is crossing the Delaware. The Lehigh Valley bridge, just to the south, was deemed deficient years ago, and is no longer used. This has been a great series of albums on a once bustling part of the local P-burg/Easton rail scene, which had four railroads coming here on one route or another. 7/15/2024 4:41:57 AM
