Jacob Nelson General wow close shot. looks like the rails could ahve continued straight at one time, maybe I'm wrong 8/13/2007 1:44:07 AM
David Abeles General You're right, Jacob--this is the ex-CNJ bridge over the Lehigh River, and CNJ had access to Bethlehem Steel's massive plant (now closed) using a switch here on the bridge. The tracks here curve east and join the ex-LV Lehigh Line for the run to New Jersey; the removed straight route used to lead to a diamond with the LV main and trackage to the mill. 9/27/2007 1:11:23 PM
William H. Davis Jr. General Nice shot 12/11/2009 9:02:33 PM
