Love these videos. LV is one of my favorite railroads, modeling in N scale. Love Mike Bednar, tells it like a true, old time railroader.

Lehigh Valley ran through Duryea, PA crossing Foote Ave. just down the street from my grandparents' house We loved watching all the LV trains, several every day. Coxton Yards are actually in Duryea. Still in use today.

I remember watching Lehigh Vally trains pass by my 4 room school house in Flagtown N.J. in 1965. I was in the 4th grade and was mesmorized by them, wondering where they were headed!😊

My wife's family has reunions in Noxen on the Bownmans Creek Branch. She remembers the amusement park at Harveys Lake, but not the LV trains going through.

Great video. Do you have any footage of trains leaving Perth Amboy, NJ?

The LV red is a nice paint scheme but it really doesn't wear grime well.

it 50 years ago, but feels like yesterday. intricate trackwork has vanished in modern railroading, and the whole scheme of things has become sanitized. more capital in the business now, & fewer companies, but look at the lines of modern high horsepower barely used locomotives. in the earlier times , railroading had personality with depth and dimension. Today we got oh hum. seen one, seen 'em all.
