About this Paged Content
Stockett examines the Lehigh Valley Railroad from Mauch Chunk to Penn Haven for his thesis in Civil Engineering at Lehigh University in 1889. He examines the history of the railroad line in Carbon County constructed by the Beaver Meadow Division of the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Stockett discusses technical aspects of the road, such as its alignment, crossings, culverts, the grade of the road, the specifications of its bridges (Turnhole Bridge, Glen Onoko Bridge and Penn Haven Bridge), road beds, cross ties, and rails, rail joints, turnouts and crossovers, and signals. Stockett also goes on to describe the buildings located along the road and its maintenance. Illustrations and maps are included in the thesis as well.
