Lehigh Valley ran through Duryea, PA crossing Foote Ave. just down the street from my grandparents' house We loved watching all the LV trains, several every day. Coxton Yards are actually in Duryea. Still in use today.
I had family that lived in Wilkes Barre PA. Years ago back in the 1950s when I visited there with my parents I would catch glimpses of the Lehigh Valley RR. I remember going to the amusement park at Harveys Lake and seeing the LVRR track of the Bowmans Creek branch.
My wife's family has reunions in Noxen on the Bownmans Creek Branch. She remembers the amusement park at Harveys Lake, but not the LV trains going through.
I remember watching Lehigh Vally trains pass by my 4 room school house in Flagtown N.J. in 1965. I was in the 4th grade and was mesmorized by them, wondering where they were headed!😊
We release content when we acquire enough footage to make a program. Sometimes it can take years to acquire enough footage to make a program. Lehigh Valley programs have typically taken 4 to 7 years to put together enough material.
it 50 years ago, but feels like yesterday. intricate trackwork has vanished in modern railroading, and the whole scheme of things has become sanitized. more capital in the business now, & fewer companies, but look at the lines of modern high horsepower barely used locomotives. in the earlier times , railroading had personality with depth and dimension. Today we got oh hum. seen one, seen 'em all.
Excellent to finally see South Plainfield in one of these videos!!! I’ll have to get it!
great video sir 😍😍❤❤
Love these videos. LV is one of my favorite railroads, modeling in N scale. Love Mike Bednar, tells it like a true, old time railroader.

Wondeful old locomotives ❤❤❤❤❤
I enjoyed watching your video
Love the 304
Great video. Do you have any footage of trains leaving Perth Amboy, NJ?
Man old school! Great power though!
Will there be another Lehigh valley DVD coming out in the near future?

The LV red is a nice paint scheme but it really doesn't wear grime well.
Awesome! Where was that roller coaster?
That was Hanson's Amusement Park which was located on Harvey's Lake in Pennsylvania. Park and the rails are long gone.
@@JPMediaRR oh thanks!
@@samuelbrown9363 there is a brief shot of a train going under the roller coaster around the 8 minute mark of this preview.
