A Google link or coordinates would be helpful. Thank you.

Charles, I believe this is the CNJ crossing of the Lehigh River -- just west of the overhead truss-bridge
that crosses the actual LV line near old East Penn Yard. The consolidated Allentown Yard is just east of
both bridges.

Here are the coordinates.

I agree. Looking north I think.

One detail though - I believe this bridge in the photo is EAST of the bridge coming from East Penn Yard which crosses over the LV main, maybe about 1/4 mile away from the bridge in the photo.

The bridge in the photo is just WEST (maybe 100 yards) of a truss bridge over the abandoned Lehigh Canal.

You are correct, Jim. I always forget there are three bridges there. The truss over the old LV main, the
plate-girder bridge over the Lehigh River and the truss over the old canal. Thank you!

That first covered (formerly covered?) hopper looks like it had a fire going inside.
