Lebanon Valley Railroad
The Lebanon Valley Railroad is a railroad line between the cities of Harrisburg and Reading, both in the American state of Pennsylvania. The line opened on 18 January 1858.
The road was acquired by the Reading Company on 20 March 1858, which put them in direct competition with the Pennsylvania Railroad for the Philadelphia to Harrisburg route.
The line now belongs to Norfolk Southern Railway and is part of its Harrisburg Line running between Harrisburg and Philadelphia.
Passenger service[]
The line was the basis until the 1960s for passenger trains between Harrisburg and Jersey City, yet bypassing Philadelphia, most famously, the 'Queen of the Valley.' Intermediate stations included Lebanon, Reading, Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, Bound Brook and Bayonne.
