How busy in the Reading mailine out of Allentown Yard as it leaves Allentown? I was on Lehigh St on saturday for 3 hours and there wasn't one darn movement. I thought I read in the paper there were 40 trains a day or so.

Certainly busier than when you were there. I have been to many spots on the line in the greater Allentown area and have rarely waited more than an hour or so for a train. Sometimes they stack up and you'll get several in an hour. You'll have to chalk this one up to bad luck.
