Transcriber’s Notes: This work presents a series of full page black-and-white photographs depicting various scenes along the Lehigh Valley Railroad (in the eastern parts of the U.S. states of Pennsylvania and New York), bound with an illustrated front cover.

In the HTML version the “full-size” linked illustration files are 50% of the size as scanned, otherwise they would each be approximately 6M each, and not well-suited for many mobile devices. A List of Illustrations has been added as a convenience.

Aside from the title on the cover—and the publisher and copyright information on its verso—the only text contained within is the illustration captions. There is no body text.
