Short lines and branch lines play a vital role in the movement of merchandise.
Their primary purpose is to link industries requiring rail transport and provide an important connection to transport goods to and from smaller communities.
These lines interchange with main line railroads to export products destined for larger markets and import products and materials necessary for every day life in these communities.
In Volume 1, we'll cover lines in the Lehigh River Valley.
We'll look at the Northampton & Bath, Ironton, Chestnut Ridge and Lehigh Valley branch lines.

Mostly color; approximately 59 minutes run time

Well here is real jewel of a production. It has beautifully computer restored film, of an astonishing quality I might add, with excellent dubbed sound which matches quite well, and a narrator not reading word for word from a . I've not run across a production where the narration is every bit if not better than the videography. Even my wife who is not a railfan was impressed at a production covering short lines and associated switching from 60 years ago. She said 'does it not remind you of Bill?' who was a longtime work associate of mine from that very part of Pennsylvania. If you are fascinated and intrigued by short line RR activity in the 50's this is the one for you. You will not be disappointed.
