Hi; I haven't been in the Lehigh Gorge for several years now, and thinking of a return trip for a bike ride and maybe some Reading & Northern photos. Can anyone tell me what the activity on the line between Jim Thorpe & White Haven PA is; What is the best day/time to visit?
The Lehigh Gorge Scenic trips on weekends start in late May as well. In terms of power, H67/69 almost always has 3 SD60s, 12T and 13T usually have junk (D9s, GEVOs, and SD70s), and the CP trains lately have been having a pair of AC4400s or GEVOs. In terms of R&N stuff, PILE/LEPE usually has a solo SD40-2 and the LGSR trains have an SD50 on each end. BTW, the R&N 425 is going to run to Jim Thorpe on May 16th.
