I am familiar with the Joint Operations Agreement in 1965 which LV and CRR of NJ shared portions of their lines between Allentown and Laurel Run. Specificly why was the sections of LV ultimatly abandoned between Allentown and Lehighton and The portion of the Mountain Cutoff between Frasers and Laurel Run. I always figured that the LV had the best engineered of the two parallel mainlines. And after CRR of NJ's abdication of PA trackage in 1972 all traffic would run on the LV. Archer's book does not shed much light on this. Does someone know the story?
Thanks
