Hazleton, PA: Lost/Lehigh Valley Depot and NS/LV Railyard

Depot: (Satellite, the land wasn't used for a parking lot, it was used for a parking garage.)
Railyard: (Satellite)

Lehigh Valley Railroad Hazleton, Pennsylvania station with both of the RDC Budd cars making their connection to the LV Mainline at Lehighton, Pa. About 1951 I would think. Former gas-electric car territory before the Budd cars. Unknown Photographer.

This 1969 aerial photo shows that it was in the southwest quadrant of Wyoming Street and the tracks. [AR1VBZA00060190]

This topo map does not mark the location of the depot.

Norfolk Southern is still using the railyard. Not only does it have all of the tracks and yard office, it has some cuts of cars in the yard.
