Specs from the back of the photo - N-2 class, 56" drivers, 175 psi boiler pressure, 27x30" cylinders, engine weight of 322,000 lb, tractive effort of 58,092. Unknown photographer.

Big crowd
Title:  Big crowd
Description:  One of the common debates in that time was the serous fan vx daisy picker issue. A lot of fans felt the trips should be more for the fans than the casual riders. Either way, these trips sold A LOT of tickets, often selling out. The crowd here bears witness, as this photo at the site of the old Lehigh Valley station in Easton attests.

Last run
Title:  Last run
Description:  A trip was run over the CNJ just prior to a section of it being pulled up near Phillipsburg to accomodate construction of I 78. The Phillipsburg station area had some issues with clear areas at the station site, so the trip was run to Easton PA, where riders were able to get off for a photo stop. We see the lead unit head on at Easton.

Good looking train
Title:  Good looking train
Description:  The train was posed on the ex LV bridge for photos. The handrails on the ex CNJ bridge are just barely visible to the left of the lead unit, seen through the trees. The LV bridge was ultimately determined to be deficient, while the CNJ bridge was in much better shape, and it was decided that the Lehigh Line would be swung over to the CNJ alignment and over that bridge, and the right of way realigned on the Jersey side. This is the route NS uses today.

LV station
Title:  LV station
Description:  Almost. The station here was demolished not long after the end of passenger service in 1961, but the platforms remained. The site was used by Tri State to drop riders for the photo op when they backed the train out onto the brodge, just around the curve out of sight.

Chemical coast train
Title:  Chemical coast train
Description:  The ex CNJ line that runs along the Jersey Turnpike near Port Newark was called the Chemical Coast Secondary by Conrail, because it served mostly oil refineries and chemical plants. There was a train that originated there, CCAL, that ran to Allentown. It was easy to spot, having mostly tank cars. Here it is with 118 cars on the ex LV bridge over the Delaware, shortly to arrive in Allentown.
