sage advice for train watching anywhere today for all young ladies. bring a friend and ur cell phone. in some places a friend with a concealed carry permit is in order. stay safe. Stay happy and enjoy trains resposibly
1. There is decent bus service from the Port Authoritiy Terminal in NYC at 42nd & 8th Ave, and from E. Rockaway, you can take LIRR to Penn Sta. and bus (M10 on 8th Avenue) or subway, one stop on any train on the northbound 34th St. Station platform, and then take the bus.
2. There is a very active Allentown Area National Railway Historical Society chapter. You can probablyi find them on the web. You might tell them exactly what you are looking for, why you want a yard in Allentown in particular (I'd be interested out of curioslity myself), and see if it is convenient for one of their older and experienced members to meet you at the Allentown bus station, and be with you in your exploration. He or she may even have ways of getting the both of you permission to visit on railroad property..
3. The NRHS member may even suggest that at Penn Station, you take a regional Amtrak train to Philadelphia and then transfer to a SEPTA commuter train to Lancaster, and meet him or her there, and return the same way. Lancaster is less than one hour's drive from Allentown. Often, when I went to Allentown or neighboring Bethlahem, I went there by bus, but my clients knowing my love for trains, drove me to either Lancaster or Norristown so I could return to NYC by rail.
