In Volume 4 of Railfanning With the Bednars, we railfan April 1973 to early June 1975 and the arrival of the GE U23Bs on the Valley. The U23Bs would be the last new locomotives the Valley would receive.
Locations include Bethlehem, Allentown, Catasauqua, Hokendauqua, and other points west to Sayre. West of Sayre, we visit Cayuta and Lockwood, NY.
The Bednar gang also makes a visit to western PA to capture the Penn Central at Horse Shoe Curve and other well known railfanning locations on the PC.
After returning from western PA, we chase the brand new GE U23Bs from Palmerton to Laurel Run, PA.
We'll also see the Ironton/Lehigh Valley engine swap at the Ironton engine house and the Ironton 751 working Allentown and Bethlehem.
Narrated by Mike Bednar Color; approximately 60 minutes run time

A well done video of the Lehigh Valley railroad in the 1970's. Great coverage of this anthracite carrier though Pennsylvania and New York.

At first l was going to get Vol 5 and 6. But since l'm a big U Boat fan, thought l'd throw this in too. Glad I did because the last new locos for the Lehigh Valley the U23Bs are featured. Almost 40 minutes into the program the freshly painted U23s appear. You see(and almost smell)the paint for the next 4 minutes. Also you see many LV Alco Centuries. And alot of PC action.
