The Lehigh is a defunct train station in Easton, Pennsylvania. It originally built by the Lehigh Valley Railroad. As of 2017, the structure still exists but has been blighted since its closing in the 1970s.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad opened its original line between Allentown and Easton in 1855. The line ran across the Lehigh River form downtown Easton. For the first year the railroad used a temporary depot but at the end of 1856 they built a new station. The new station was built of wood and was considered to be a fire hazard, so they replaced it on the same spot, with one made of stone in 1868. LVRR ran successfully into the 20th century carrying grain, coal and passengers on eastern and northern routes but in 60s and 70s most rail lines were having financial trouble. In 1976, along with other rail lines, the LVRR was merged into the U.S. government’s Consolidated Rail Corporation, (Conrail) ending 130 years of existence and 121 years of operation of the Lehigh Valley Rail Road. wikipedia
