The date is October 10, 1982 as NJT's 4251 passes by what was CP West Portal on the Lehigh Line. It is on its way back to Newark after taking passengers on a sixty-five mile trip to view the fall foliage in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. This round trip journey passed over eight bridges, including two separate crossings of the Lehigh and Delaware Rivers and through the mile long Pattenburg Tunnel. The trip would also take passengers through CR's Allentown Yard, CR's Bethlehem Engine Terminal and Bethlehem Steel Company facilities.If you are wondering what the price of this excursion was back then, it was $28 per person.
