    To complement Ted's Lehigh Valley postings, here is another beautiful Lehigh Valley train, The John Wilkes. (named after a prominent British journalist and statesman, NOT the gentleman who killed Abraham Lincoln!) The John Wilkes premiered in 1939 and (as all other railroads boasted at the time) was the most comfortable and elegant way to travel. The train was unveiled just in time (what a coincidence) to bring people to the 1939 World's Fair in New York City. Luxurious accommodations, wonderful food in the dining car. The Lehigh Valley terminated all passenger service in April 1961, due to declining passenger traffic due to competition from airplanes and the family car.
