Photos of Bethlehem Steel in Bethlehem During Demolition in 2007
Back in 2007 my friend Sean said “Hey, want to go shoot Bethlehem Steel before they knock it all down?”. I said yes.
April 2018 Lehigh Valley Branchlines
This spring brought a second trip to the Lehigh Valley. This time was focused on chasing the Cement Local and meeting a legend. Lunch with “Big Mike” Bednar was clearly the high point, but as far as this blog goes, there were no real photos of that.
“Spring” 2018 Trip to Strasburg, The Lehigh Valley, and the Reading & Northern
This year’s big spring railfanning trip included a ride on the Lancaster Oxford & Southern motor car, a tour of the Lehigh Valley and some time at the heart of the R&N.
April 2017 Trip to The Lehigh Valley
