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]
Dan Maddonni: Dennis DeBruler wow, where did you find this image?

Dan Maddonni https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/topomapexplorer/index.html. I'll admit, this boomer had to peck away at this site for a few months before I figured out to get the aerials. I process them with GIMP to rotate and crop them and to convert to .jpg. You have to register, but it is worth it.
Dan Maddonni: Dennis DeBruler I will probably have the same difficulty. I’m still all analog and technology and I don’t really get along, regardless thank you.

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.
