Rail Salvage from Lehigh Valley branch


 





Map of the area that we
salvaged.

The section of trackage
we removed from the Lehigh Valley made way for a ‘Rails to Trails’ project. This
project was paid for with TEA-21 (Federal) Transportation Enhancement Funding.

There are some rails in
there… somewhere…

A lot of elbow grease was
involved…


 

 

A front-end loader comes
in handy.

A wheel from a speeder that
we found…

 

Cutting apart a switch track
down to its components.

Take out the spikes, clamp
on, lift it up!

 



The last stack of rail…

… in easy to swallow 39-foot
lengths!

 

More coming soon!
