4.9/5 (33610 ratings)

Description:Volume 2: Lehigh & Hudson RiverThe second volume in a six part series of softcover books, Bob Pennisi presents through the use of b&w photos (color images appear only on the front and back cover) the various major component railroads that were eventually merged to form Conrail on April 1, 1976.The Lehigh & Hudson River was the smallest railroad merged into the giant Conrail system. L&HR was essentially a bridge line between Easton, PA and Maybrook, NY, traversing a rather bucolic line across northern New Jersey and southern New York.The railroad dieselized early with a small fleet of Alco RS-3s, and these are represented in the book. In the early 1960s the railroad returned to Alco for nine new C-420 locomotives. The new units arrived in a simple but attractive light gray and medium blue paint scheme. The C-420s toiled on until the road was merged into Conrail, at which time some were conferred to their new owner, while others were sold to different railroads.The book primarily features diesels on the L&HR, however, there are a few photos showing steam. A special 100th Anniversary visit was made by Reading's T-1 class 4-8-4 #2124 in June 1960; another steam excursion was run with Canadian Pacific G-5 class 4-6-2 #1286 in May 1967. A few photos depict run-through diesels from nearby roads and/or leased when L&HR's business was brisk.Until Morning Sun Books published a volume on the L&HR in 2001 (by Jim Boyd and Tracy Antz), not much was available on this small but colorful railroad.
