- Lehigh_Line_(Norfolk_Southern) abstract "The Lehigh Line (also known as NS Lehigh Line or Norfolk Southern Lehigh Line and formerly and historically known as Lehigh Valley Mainline) is a major freight railroad line that operates in New Jersey and Pennsylvania that is owned and operated by the Norfolk Southern Railway; the Norfolk Southern Railway is a Eastern United States based Class 1 railroad that is owned and operated by the Norfolk Southern Corporation. The line runs from Port Reading Junction in Manville, New Jersey to M&H Junction near Old Penn Haven, Pennsylvania. The Lehigh Line was established in 1855 and has been operating for about 161 years; the line's current form though has been around for about 16 years since 1999. The majority of the line serves as Norfolk Southern's main corridor in and out of the Port of New York and New Jersey and the New York City metro area. The line is part of Norfolk Southern's Harrisburg Division and it is part Norfolk Southern's Crescent Corridor, a railroad corridor. The line has been mistakenly referred to as Lehigh Valley Line in press releases. The Lehigh Line was built by the Lehigh Valley Railroad (LV) and began operations in 1855 between Easton, Pennsylvania and Allentown, Pennsylvania (the line was later built on past Easton and Allentown); the Lehigh Line was the Lehigh Valley Railroad's first rail line. The line was the body of the Lehigh Valley Railroad in its early years up until the LV built or acquired other rail lines to connect with the line. The line's original route was from Easton, Pennsylvania to Allentown, Pennsylvania when the line was opened on June 11, 1855. Along the line's original route, it passes through the city of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The line's original route served as the original form of the line which lasted for 3 months starting on the day the line opened until September 11, 1855. The Lehigh Line's original form which lasted for 3 months came to an end as the line branched out to the Northwest pass Allentown to Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania on September 12, 1855 which is the day after September 11.The line would later branch out again to the Northwest past Jim Thorpe to the Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania area until it reached the Buffalo, New York area. The line also later branched out to the east pass Easton all the way to Perth Amboy, New Jersey which included the building of a wooden bridge (later replaced by a double-tracked iron bridge) over the Delaware River to connect Easton with Phillipsburg, New Jersey. The line's expansion into New Jersey was built as a way to access the New York City area. Along the Easton to Perth Amboy route of the line, the line's route switched to the Northeast when a line was constructed pass South Plainfield, New Jersey; the route from South Plainfield to Perth Amboy which ran Southeast broke away from the main line and became a branch line and the new line going Northeast became the new part of the main line. With the line now going Northeast, the line's new end point was Jersey City, New Jersey which was later decreased to Newark, New Jersey.By the 1930s, the line was known as the Lehigh Valley Mainline. In 1972, the LV assumed the remaining Pennsylvania trackage of the Central Railroad of New Jersey including the Pennsylvania part of the Central Railroad of New Jersey's main line which later was integrated into the line years later. The line and the rest of the Lehigh Valley Railroad was absorbed into Conrail in 1976. Conrail maintained the line as a main line into the New York City area and the line became known as the Lehigh Line during the Conrail ownership. Conrail maintained the line's original route but did not retain all of the line's original right of way that represented the line's original route. Conrail integrated the former CNJ main line trackage between Bethlehem and Allentown that the LV acquired in 1972 into the Lehigh Line's original route and transferred most of the line's original right of way between Bethlehem to Allentown to the ex-Reading Railroad's Reading Line which Conrail inherited also. The line's original route's new right of way is now former CNJ mainline trackage between Allentown and Bethlehem with a bridge over the Lehigh River to the Bethlehem to Easton part of the original right of way; the line kept the original right of way between Bethlehem and Easton. The original route's new right of way kept the line in continuous operation since 1855 and the line was elegable to continue as the same rail line that was built and opened in 1855 by the Lehigh Valley Railroad. With Conrail transferring most of the line's original right of way between Allentown and Bethlehem to the Reading Line and allowing the line to keep the majority of it's original right of way which is between Bethlehem and Allentown, Conrail also integrated CNJ main line trackage between Allentown and Lehighton, Pennsylvania into the Lehigh Line; this allowed the line to keep its Allentown and Lehighton route and also continue to Jim Thorpe. The line's old right of way between Allentown and Lehighton was then separated from the Lehigh Line.With the line integrating CNJ trackage into both its original route and into it's route between Allentown and Lehighton, Conrail integrated other CNJ trackage around Phillipsburg into the line and have both the line's LV trackage in Phillipsburg and the line's new CNJ trackage in Phillipsburg be part of the line; this lasted until the mid to late 1980's when Conrail decided to abandon the line's LV trackage in Phillipsburg which includes the Phillipsburg LV bridge due to the LV bridge needing repairs in favor of using the CNJ Phillipsburg trackage full time which includes the CNJ bridge which is more stable than the LV bridge. With the Lehigh Line using its original tracks from the former LV and using it's new tracks from the former CNJ, Conrail downsized the Lehigh Line in New York State all the way to Sayre Yard in Sayre, Pennsylvania; the line ran from Newark to Sayre for the majority of its time under Conrail. Conrail later decreased the line to Mehoopany, Pennsylvania and passed Mehoopany to Sayre, the tracks became a new rail line called the Lehigh Secondary. Finally, the line was decreased for one last time under Conrail, the line was decreased to its current west end point which is M&H Junction near Old Penn Haven, Pennsylvania; passed M&H Junction, the tracks became a new rail line called the Lehigh Division which was later sold to the Reading Blue Mountain and Northern Railroad (RBMN) in 1996. The RBMN would later decrease the Lehigh Division from Mehoopany to Dupont, Pennsylvania and the tracks from Dupont to Mehoopany became a new rail line called the Susquehanna Branch. In 1999, the Norfolk Southern Railway acquired the Lehigh Line in the Conrail split with CSX Transportation but the line lost its existing tracks from Manville, New Jersey to Newark, New Jersey in the process in order for both Norfolk Southern and CSX to have equal competition in the Northeast. The existing tracks from Manville to Newark became a new rail line and for equal competition, Norfolk Southern along with CSX own the new rail line under a joint venture. However, for historical purposes, the part from Manville to Newark is considered a new rail line and not the original line and the Norfolk Southern part is considered the original line and not a new rail line. This is currently the line's last time it is downsized. The Lehigh Line hosts approximately twenty-five trains per day. The line passes through the approximately 5,000 foot Pattenburg Tunnel in West Portal, New Jersey along its route. Most of the traffic along the line consists of intermodal and general merchandise trains going to yards such as Oak Island Yard in Newark and Croxton Yard in Jersey City. The line makes notable connections with other Norfolk Southern lines such as the Reading Line, the Washington Secondary, the Cement Secondary, the Ashmore Secondary, the Portland Secondary and the Stroudsburg Secondary (formerly part of the Lackawanna Old Road and goes under the Lackawanna Cut-Off) and connects with regional and short line railroads such as the Reading Blue Mountain and Northern Railroad, the Black River and Western Railroad and the Belvidere and Delaware River Railway.".
