| Lehigh Valley RS11m #7642 sits on ex-Lehigh and New England track in Bethlehem, PA. This image is noted as the first day of the LV takeover of the LNE operations.
"L&NE indicated that according to its projections for 1976 operating losses ranging up to as much as $400,000 might be expected for the first six to nine months of 1975. L&NE further indicated its intention to embargo traffic to, from and over its lines, effective January 24, 1975... To avoid the disruption that would result from implementation of the embargo, the ICC entered Service Orders 1207 and 1208 on January 17, 1975, which directed LVRR and Reading to provide services over L&NE's lines for 60 days (from January 24 to March 24, 1975)."
