With a friendly wave from the engineer, RBMN GP38-2 2013 brings the 11 AM LGSR excursion north through Glen Onoko and into the Lehigh Gorge
LGSR continues northbound into the Lehigh Gorge as the last runners of a marathon continue along their way.
RBMN 2535 is notched-up at the short tunnel under Hunter Street in Nesquehoning, PA with an LGSR excursion. This photo was one file of a handful I thought I had lost and wouldn't see again until last night when I found Lightroom had backed up my photos in some buried folders.
The Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway continues Jim Thorpe’s rich railroading history, which dates back to the Switchback Railroad that opened in 1827 to haul coal from mines down to the canals along the Lehigh River. Later, passenger rides were added to this line and many consider this gravity railroad to be the precursor to roller coasters.
Thank you so much for visiting and taking the time to comment!
I really appreciate it!
The Reading and Northern F Units lead the 3PM Lehigh Gorge Scenic train across the former CNJ bridge over the Lehigh River at Nesquehoning Junction.
After the LGSR excursion cleared, the Outer Station excursion spun their train around the Jim Thorpe wye. RBMN F9A 270 can be seen here as the consist reversed across the CNJ bridge back towards Jim Thorpe, where the train would be tied down and the crew would wait out the rest of the layover in town.
RBMN 2013 brings up the rear on the LGSR excursion as they round the curve past the rock cut in Glen Onoko.
RBMN GP38-2 2014 leads the LGSR Excursion into the curve at Glen Onoko, as they return towards Jim Thorpe. The 2014 was purchased from Norfolk Southern and served as NS 5603 after being rebuilt from a former Southern Railway GP38AC.
The Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway 12:00 trip rips over the Lehigh River into Glen Onoko led by RBMN GP38-2 2013. Lehigh Gorge State Park and Jim Thorpe were absolutely mobbed on this warm fall afternoon, with the town being shut down to more tourists just a little while later.
The foot and bike traffic along the Lehigh Gorge Trail was plentiful as LGSR returns from Old Penn Haven with RBMN GP38-2 2014 on the point. I had been wanting to catch this engine for a while and was pretty happy to finally make that happen.
Reading & Northern SD40-2 3059 leads the noon departure of the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway north through the Lehigh Gorge with some nice fall colors starting to show.
