The Lackawanna and the Erie, two anthracite haulers, merged in 1960. This program shows the railroads in action both before and after the merger. See the Lackawanna tackle the Poconos with FTs and E units. Ride from East Stroudsburg to Scranton. See the Erie's fleet of Alco RS diesels lead commuter trains in Ridgewood, Ramsey and Passaic, N.J. Post-merger action features Alco PAs rumbling across Moonda Viaduct and lashups of Baldwins leading coal trains near Portland, PA. F units leading a fan trip on the Bangor & Portland Branch grace the Nazereth, PA area. This tape showcases the variety of motive power and service offered by these anthracite haulers.
