Eastern Railroad Discussion > A Day of Color in the Lehigh ValleyDate: 08/25/14 11:23 A Day of Color in the Lehigh Valley Author: ReadingT-1 Taking advantage of a day off from work and beautiful weather, I headed out to catch the colorful lash up of NS train 212 on 8/25/14.
Photo 1: 212 knocks down the 22.2 signal at Hilltop Rd. just west of Alburtis, PA. Photo 2: 212 crosses the Delaware River into Phillipsburg, NJ with the Easton skyline in the background. Photo 3: With a little heads up from a group on Facebook, found out that 13T had a blue CN leader this morning, so with the KCS chase over with, I headed up to Northampton, PA to get a photo at the Siegfried station.

I am off later this week and either this weekend or in early October enroute to Jim Thorpe, I plan on photographing the CNJ Siegfried station.
