Ron's Lehigh River Valley Part 1 - West Portal to Phillipsburg NJ

Ron discusses the many prototype structures he recreated on his O scale layout. He also throws in some history about this area. Even if you're not a railfan or model railroader this is worth a watch just for the many historic pictures he has amassed.
We hope to have another video in the future covering the area of his layout in Pennsylvania.
**Editors note: At 1:45 in the video I erroneously put up a title identifying a road as route 22. The road is actually Tunnel Rd. The photo was taken from old route 22. **

Ron, I ran across this video by accident, but enjoyed the presentation and historical points. If I'm not mistaken, we worked in the same areas of the Cameron Pump Division prior to 2000.

I really love the homage to the Lehigh Valley in models, rebuilt structures and the garden railroad. This is really neat railfanning at a higher level!

Damn, I never saw these photos before! Especially the one right after it was abandoned at 10:30 I always thought the Lehigh Valley Railroad was abandoned in 1989, boy was I right! Still searching for photos of the railroad track still on Stockton Street.
