Lehigh Gorge Scenic RR - High Bridge over the Lehigh River at Nesquehoning Junction

Winter view of the Lehigh Gorge Scenic RR excursion train crossing the Lehigh River just above the town of Jim Thorpe, PA.. The high bridge is ex-Central RR of New Jersey. The Reading & Northern has plans to put in a wye at this location that would involve a second high bridge over the Lehigh River. The wye would make north-south operations more fluid on the railroad, avoiding a run-around move in Jim Thorpe. If the wye ever comes to fruition, this spot would come to be regarded by railfans as the Keddie Wye of the East.
