| Ex Cincannati & Lake Erie Lightweight "Red Devil" runs in reverse northbound off the Eighth Street Bridge in Alletown on its way from the Farview Car Barn near S. 12th & W. Wyoming St. On most trips, the single end 1000's made a backup move to the car barn and back. This one has just crossed over the Little Lehigh Creek. South Mountain is the hill in the background. The Eight Street Bridge had been the longest and highest concrete bridge in the world when opened in November of 1913. It was built by the Lehigh Valley Transit. The toll was 5 cents for automobiles. Note the 1937 Dodge and 1936 Packard in the parking lot. |
