Jersey Central Lines Nesquehoning Junction Tower and westbound train leaving Jim Thorpe, Pa. as it appeared in mid-1950's. Still double track railroad. Unknown Photographer unfortunately.

Richard Jahn: Not 1950's, second and third locomotives didn't come on the railroad until 1969.

Of note is that a trail and railroad are sharing a former double track right-of-way.
