Have long wanted to get a photo of NS's 36T or 37T going through Weiders Crossing (PA), sometimes referred to as Lehigh Gap, and Tuesday was that day. Seen here around 9:40 is the 36T with NS 2669, NS 6754 and NS 9283 bringing its mixed consist south near MP 107. Those concrete remnants seen in the foreground are all that remain from when the 1,076 foot long L&NE bridge that once spanned the Lehigh River at this location. It was abandoned in 1961 and eventually removed in 1967. That concrete pier standing, seen off to the left, is the only support still standing as all the other ones have been removed. Since luck was with me on the sunny day, I decided to buy lottery tickets in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey hoping my good fortune will continue!
