Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS 36/37T to be discontinued?

Heard from an Engineer on a connecting RR that these two trains aren't long for this world.

A victim of PSR?

Can anyone confirm?

Steve

From what I have heard both trains will still operate but only between Binghamton and Allentown.

At least that keeps NS in the Lehigh Gorge. Better than I thought. Thanks.

Is the 36/37T the only NS train thru the gorge?

Affirmative

There is also the local freight out of Hazelton (somewould would need to provide train ID).  They enter the gorge at old Penn Haven and run to Lehighton then back to Hazelton.  So, they are only in a portion of the gorge.  In the summer, their return can sometimes be close to daybreak.  Here they are returning to Hazelton a couple of weeks ago on 6/21 seen entering the gorge at Glen Onoko.  I had some rain to contend with!

Best, Jeff M.

The H66 is (was?) the local running from Allentown north to Lehighton. I don’t know if the 66 goes all the way to Hazleton or if it swaps trains at Lehighton with a local out of Hazleton. This could have changed after the RBMN took over the industrial park trackage there (Cando)

The H67 comes down from Hazleton. The H66 goes as far west as Lehighton.
