South Bethlehem Overview
On a beautiful late winter morning, two SD50’s with Oak Island-bound tonnage, including an EMD switcher on a ferry move, come eastward from Allentown. The train is seen crossing the Lehigh River on the former Reading bridge in Bethlehem, and then crossing over from track one to track two after taking the connection to the former Lehigh Valley main line (Lehigh Line). Visible in the upper left is Bethlehem’s union station, and above that the building that was the Lehigh Valley Railroad’s Brighton Street office. The Lehigh & New England Railroad also had offices on Brighton Street.
