I would like to know more about the history of the Allentown, PA train service, I know that Lehigh Valley Line stopped running there in 1961 follow by Central New Jersey in 1967.
What route did the Lehigh Valley Line take in both New Jersey & Pennsylvania & where did it operate between prior to it's closure in 1961 & since I know what route the Central New Jersey took in New Jersey prior to it's closure in 1967 which is now NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line between High Bridge & Cranford & between High Bridge & Phillipsburg (discontinued past HIigh Bridge in 1983) but what route did this line take in Pennsylvania, did it follow the same path (using the same tracks) as the Lehigh Valley Line or no & what route again in Pennsylvania did it take after the Lehigh Valley stopped running there in 1961.
Where did the Lehigh Valley operate between.
I also understand that I-78 servered part of the Central New Jersey line near Phillipsburg, my question is this segment where I-78 servered gone for good & if anyone has pictures of it, can someone post them up.
If rail service is restored back to Allentown, PA someday, can it still use the old Central New Jersey or a different path (if the section was severed by I-78).
If anyone knows of books about the Central New Jersey to Allentown, PA prior to it's closure in 1967, list the book(s) on this
