Built
in 1950 by Bethlehem Steel, this Lehigh Valley drop-end 50’ gondola
with Bettendorf trucks was part of a 500-car series. The Lehigh
Valley Railroad was founded in 1846 and headquartered in Bethlehem,
Pennsylvania. It was known for shipping anthracite coal from Pennsylvania
mines, but also carried general freight. It operated until 1976
when it was absorbed by the Conrail merger. Much of the remaining
trackage is owned by Norfolk Southern, today.
