Lehigh Valley RR's Naples Branch

[Solomon]

I donated all of my files on the Lehigh Valley’s Naples branch to the Naples Public Library covering the history of the line from beginning to end. What did you want to know about it?

[:)][:p]Thanx guys, i never knew it abandoned in sectons, i thought it abandoned completely with the end of it '76, not started in 68! well, ok, now, if anybody has pic’s more info, please tell, especially on the Npales turn table, if you guys know any info about it![:D][8D][:D][8D][:D] also, i thought i saw a C-420 in a picture of a small train going over the middlesex state route 245, did they use C-420’s on the branch, and yes adian speeder, the Pups do rule, but the better breed of loco the C-628!!! hahahahahahahahahahaha!

Regarding the C628, the things were massive. Due to their sheer weight and how rough they were to the trackage, they were banned on the railroad west of Sayre, PA. Understandably, they were not (as far as I know) run on shortlines and rather were used on mainline freights. C420s however were used on shortlines, sometimes alone, but freqently with helpers.
