STATIONS OF THE PAST
Station Name	Original Railroad	Notes
Audenried (Yorktown)		A station is shown here on the main street on maps from 1875. It is hard to say exactly where this station was given that the streets have changed so much since then. At one time Audenried (north) and Yorktown (south) were two separate towns.
Bear Mountain (Mauch Chunk)
Beaver Meadows		The station was at the south end of Depot Street on the north side of the tracks.
Bloomingdale
Bowmanstown		Bowmanstown is on the CNJ side of the river and the town of West Bowmans is on the LV side.

Lehigh Tannery		There were stations on both sides of the river here about 700 feet from each other as the crow flies. The LV station was on the east side of the river (in Carbon Co.) on the south side of Tannery Road on the west side of the tracks. The CNJ station was on the west side of the river (in Luzerne Co.), also on the south side of Tannery Road, on the east side of the tracks.

Pavilion Station
Penn Haven Jct.		The original Penn Haven station was on the south side of the Quakake Creek just across the trestle where the RR crossed the creek. Later, the station pictured was built between the tracks.

Notes About Existing Stations... Lansford (Panther Creek) - This station originally was built by the Panther Creek Railroad Company which was absorbed by the L&NE in 1913. Palmerton (CNJ) - 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. Weatherly (LV) - What is this building? If this is an original LV station, there must have been three over the years (see table of Stations Of The Past) Can someone clarify the building's history and give an exact location for this?? Leonard Bachelder writes: "This building is in the complex of buildings that was once the LV shops and about 1890 was closed and the property converted to a steel mill. A gentleman who is involved with a funded "cleanup" of this property, looking toward some kind of restoration, told me that this building was the dispatcher's office. I have no independent verification, but he seemed to know generally what he was talking about, and from its location, that appears more likely than use as a station.
