In December of 2003, Werner Mueller
produce an excellent MSTS route
featuring the Lehigh Valley, CNJ, Reading and Lehigh & New England railroads.
The 'Anthracite Project' has now updated this route using Scale Rail and improved scenery.
Belanger Locomotive Works and ZosaTrains are proud to release the first of
our sets in support of the Anthracite Project:
The Lehigh Valley 1950's set
(from Wikipedia) The Lehigh Valley Railroad (reporting mark LV) was one of a number
of railroads built in the northeastern United States primarily to haul anthracite coal.
It was incorporated April 21, 1846 in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania as the Delaware,
Lehigh,
Schuylkill and Susquehanna Railroad Company.
On January 7, 1853, the name was changed
to Lehigh Valley Railroad.
It was sometimes known as the Route of the Black Diamond,
named after the anthracite it transported. At the time, anthracite was transported by boat
down the
Lehigh River. The railroad was meant to be a faster means of transportation.
The Lehigh Valley was absorbed into Conrail in 1976 along with several other North Eastern Railroads.
