"A tribute to Sayre’s one-time major industry - the Lehigh Valley Railroad - was placed near the South Elmer Avenue-West Packer Avenue corner in 1991. The black letters “LVRR” and the numbers “1904" had been salvaged from the huge railroad locomotive shop when it was demolished. The blocks of stone in the monument, including the date stones, came from two old Sayre bridges - the Packer Avenue Bridge and the Foot Bridge - both built over the railroad tracks of the Lehigh Valley Railroad in downtown Sayre."
