Notes...

Lansford - This station originally was built by the Panther Creek Railroad Company which was absorbed by the L&NE in 1913.

Palmerton - The station is now authentically restored and houses the Millimeter Wave Research Laboratory. The men's waiting room and the baggage room had been vandalized and heavily fire damaged. It has been gutted and rebuilt. The nature of the ongoing research precludes public visitation without prior arrangement. Small groups of ten or less can be accommodated and there is no charge.
