"The Lehigh Valley owned nearly four hundred locomotives, three hundred passenger service cars, and sixteen thousand freight cars at the height of its service in the 1940s. They operated three mainline passenger trains that traveled round-trip between New York City and Buffalo in the 1940s and ’50s—the daytime Black Diamond, and two overnight sleepers, the Star and the Maple Leaf—though freight traffic was the Lehigh Valley’s largest source of revenue."
Current Use:
Display by the Railway Station (which is now a bank). The air conditioner and curtains suggest it is also being used as an office.
