Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway bike train in the Lehigh Gorge
Author: OCtrainguy

In complement to Ed K's post on the bike train:  http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?2,3824764

Here are some photos of the train in the Lehigh Gorge over the past weekend.  I rode the train at the end of June.  The ride on the train was very scenic and enjoyable and the bike ride from White Haven down to Jim Thorpe was extremely enjoyable.  According to the information provided to us, the ride from White Haven to Jim Thorpe is 25 miles.  I hoghly recommend it and plan on doing it again next year.  At $22 if you have your own bicycle, it's very affordable.  All the bike trains I saw were well patronized.  Here are the photos.

1.  Saturday morning passing MP 126
2.  Saturday morning as it returns to Jim Thorpe as it passes CP Independence
3.  Saturday afternoon at M&H Junction heading back to Jim Thorpe 

A few more to share.

Hope you enjoy!

I haven't.  I was wondering how people got up there and those I saw this weekend needed to get across the tracks to get onto the rocks.
