M&E's #18 travels east over the Lehigh Line!

Received Via Email

Back in August of 1994 I was up around Bloomsbury along CR's Lehigh Line when I heard a CR train, symbol SPL-101, coming east. My curiosity sparked by this unusual symbol I waited to see what this train was. Leading the consist was CR 7868 as seen in the first photo passing by the since removed block signal at Lehigh Line MP 68.8 in Bloomsbury (NJ). The second image shows M&E's # 18 bringing up the rear as it passes by the former Agway farm products business in Bloomsbury, now known as F.S. Growmark. SPL-101 would then take the siding at West Portal and wait on a west bound power move down around CP Pattenburg before proceeding east.
