Had to share that one. No tracks through that station now, and the former ROW north of there is now called American Parkway. There's a single track through the former LVRR station area, which is not too far away; IINM that was used briefly by SEPTA's RDC service to Reading Terminal. |

The train pictured is actually on Allentown Terminal tracks, used by RDG & CNJ to access the station. RDG left Allentown in '63 (IIRC) when the Jersey City/Harrisburg service was discontinued. The LV station was on the other side of the Hamilton St. bridge over the Lehigh River, torn down around the same time. Nice view BTW... |

The Reading/SEPTA service most of us remember called at Bethlehem, not AllentownIt was extended to Allentown for a couple of years (1978/79), but just one train per day; service to Bethlehem ended in 1981. |

The railroad has been "greenwayed" north of Quakertown; the entire ROW is still there of course, but it really is a travesty that not even a freight train ca get from Philly to the ABE area anymore.What with NJT having proven the ALP-45DPs in regular service, a frequent passenger service with them pulling the BBD push-pull cars would work, but the way SEPTA has the funding structured, they will only serve the counties that pay into it—albeit not too well. |
