My first exposure to a real interurban line was when John Stern, Bill (“Giggles”) Watson, and I visited the LVT in 1947 or 1948. We met about 6:45 at Penn Station, New York, rode the Lehigh Valley Railroad (possibly the Asa Packer?) to Easton, and walked from the station to the town square. We were hoping to catch on the Cincinnati Lightweight Curvesides (ex Dayton and Western?) for the through ride to Allentown, but were dissapointed when a old arch-roof slower car showed up late. We paid our fare, did not complain, and met an eastbound Cincinnati about half way to Bethlahem on the single track line at a siding. I rode this type of car later and also had more experience with the older arch roof type which had green tinted upper sash windows. We transfered to a Brill Master Unit type car, or something similar, at downtown Bethlahem, the site of a “grand union”, a double-track crossover with all eight connecting curves and their 16 switches and 4 diamonds in place and operable. The Brill car was on the “Mincie Trail” line which was the main local line between Bethlahem and Allentown. The Easton Limited cars used the same tracks but made no stops between those two cities. I also learned about the South Bethlahem line which took a longer route and passed by Lehigh University. In Allentown, a behive of streetcar activity, we took a double truck Birney to Northampton, and back and I was impressed by the high single-track truss bridge entering Northampton. Back to downtown Allentown and then a visit to the shops and carbarn. At that time the single-end ex-Cincinnati and Lake Erie lightweights used on the Liberty Bell Limited Philadelphia run would reverse at 8th and Hamilton downtown, go through the crossover, and then use the backup contoller to go the Farivew Carbarn, receive servicing and return backwards to 8th and Hamilton. We may have hitched a ride on one of those cars downtown, or re
