Andy, NS runs on the other side of the Lehigh from Jim Thorpe, as well as the R&N. If you have a bike a want to try and get shots of both you might want to check out the Lehigh Gorge Trail which is on the old CNJ and paralles the NS and R&N for a few miles. Further south on the same side of the river as Thorpe, in Packerton, you may find train a waiting in the old LV yards. The NS comes north from Allentown. If your in the area the Switchback resturant is pretty good and inexpensive. The line into Sayre is R&N from Packerton to Mehoopany and NS from there north.
