Nostalgia & History > More Lehigh Valley Questions

I'm looking for a location, a train name, and other related information.  The caption I have so far is:

Can't help much but a guess would say somewhere around Mauch Chunk (Jim Thorpe).  Lehigh Valley's two big trains were the Black Diamond and the Asa Packer.  Most likely one of those.

Train 9 is the westbound Black Diamond. Looks like Coalport, Pa. coming under the CNJ.

Chris Bost
Leesport, PA

I concur with Chris. Just west of Mauch Chunk at Coalport MP124 off the CNJ bridge.

Is that a CNJ track at top left?

THat's the former CNJ Coalport yard.
