Until sometime in the 1950's you could. I think they went to Norristown to the former elevated station that SEPTA later shortened when they built a new station for the High Speed Line to 69th St. Station. The trolley system in the Lehigh Valley was all dismantled because LV Transit Co. switched to buses. LANTA the current bus operator started in 1972. SEPTA still has a few trolley lines in Philly. They still have some old PCC cars as well as newer light rail vehicles. After June 1981 the LV area no longer had any kind of passenger rail service. Conrail exited the passenger business in 1983 and SEPTA took direct control of the electric regional rail lines. The diesel lines like to Bethlehem (and Allentown June 4, 1978-Aug 1979) were cut in 1981 during Conrail operation. SEPTA doesn't really operate outside the five county region. And the part from Bethlehem to north of Quakertown is a rail trail now, with tracks gone. Quakertown to Telford is operated by East Penn and Telford to Lansdale is operated by Penn Northeastern. They might have rights onto SEPTA electric lines. There's a lot of rare pics on here. I ate at the Gingerbread Man in the ex-CNJ/Reading Allentown station around 1981 soon after it opened. It didn't last long, it was closed a few years and reopened as The Depot in 1987. Then, in the 90's it was B&G Station, then it became a nightclub Boca Joe's, then Jillian's, then Banana Joe's, then Bananas, then it closed several years ago. I hope somebody buys it and preserves it. The whole area around the station looks run down, and the parking lot is overgrown.

@@RonaldLuckock hey Ron, not sure if you remember me, I sold you the mth premier 2 rail Lehigh valley heritage diesel, me and a buddy came to your house for the sale and you gave us a private tour of the lay out.
