Lehigh Line (Norfolk Southern)
The Lehigh Line is a major freight line owned and operated by Norfolk Southern in the states of New Jersey and Pennsylvania in the Eastern United States. It runs from a connection with Conrail Shared Assets Operations's Lehigh Line and CSX's Trenton Subdivision at Port Reading Junction in Manville, New Jersey to a connection with the Reading and Northern's Reading Division and Lehigh Division at M&H Junction near Old Penn Haven, Pennsylvania.
At Three Bridges, New Jersey in Readington Township, the line interchanges with Black River and Western Railroad. At Phillipsburg, New Jersey, the line interchanges with its New Jersey side branch line, the Washington Secondary and the Belvidere and Delaware River Railway which also passes over the Belvidere and Delaware River after that. Across the river in Easton, Pennsylvania, the line interchanges with its Pennsylvania side branch line, the Portland Secondary which extends from Easton to Portland, Pennsylvania connecting to the Lackawanna Old Road.
The line hosts approximately twenty-five trains per day, with traffic peaking at the end of the week. East of the junction with the Reading Line in Allentown, Pennsylvania, the line serves as Norfolk Southern's main corridor in and out of the Port of New York and New Jersey, and the New York Metro Area at large, as NS doesn't currently use the eastern half of their Southern Tier Line, which follows the Delaware River north to Binghamton, NY. The line passes through the approximately 5,000 foot Pattenburg Tunnel in West Portal, New Jersey along its route. Most of the traffic along the line consists of intermodal and general merchandise trains going to yards such as Oak Island Yard in Newark and Croxton Yard in Jersey City.
==History==
The line was built, as the name suggests, by the Lehigh Valley Railroad, as a way to access the New York Area, it was absorbed, like all of the Lehigh Valley's properties, into Conrail in 1976. Conrail also maintained it as a main line and it continued to thrive under its ownership, unlike many lines in the northeast, which were abandoned. Norfolk Southern acquired it in the Conrail Split in 1999 and continued to improve it into the 21st century. Part of the original line is included in Conrail Shared Assets Operations, from CP Port Reading in Manville to Newark, and handles CSX traffic off of the Trenton Sub along with NS freights off of the Lehigh Line.
