Lehigh Valley Railroad, Part 2

The Lehigh Valley Railroad was an Anthracite coal hauling railroad which extended from New York City to Buffalo New York. In Volume 2 of this series, we’ll look at steam and diesel operations from Jersey to Pennsylvania, with a brief scene in New York state between the mid 1940’s and the early 1970’s through rare film from a variety of noted photographers.

We begin at Jersey City and proceed westward into Pennsylvania towards Pittston and New York State. We close this Volume with a fan trip through coal country over the Hazleton and Quakake branches to Shenandoah, Centralia and Mount Carmel in June of 1957.
