The Anthracite Railroads Historical Society (ARHS) is announcing its semi-annual fund-raising event on Saturday, October 3, 2026. Come out and enjoy our property located at scenic Lehigh Gap, adjacent to the Appalachian Trail and the Delaware and Lehigh Rail Trail.
Our sizable inventory of previously owned books will have special reduced pricing: hardcover titles will be $10 and softcover $4. ARHS designated “premium books” (e.g., “Perfecting the American Steam Locomotive” by J. Parker Lamb, “Where the Rails Meet the Sea” by Michael Krieger) will be priced significantly less than current market prices. We have Morning Sun Books. Additionally, FD&S magazine back issues will be discounted 50%; ARHS HO-scale freight car models and structure kits will be reduced 10% from list prices.
ARHS books, including the “Jersey Central New Jersey mainline and branch track diagrams”, “Jersey Central Pennsylvania Division Scrapbook”, “Reading MoW infrastructure drawings”, and Peter Bill’s latest titles: “The D&LW Syracuse Branch, Volumes 1 & 2”, “Maybrook News & Memories”, and the “Ironton” will be available at regular prices.
We are located at the intersection of PA-873 and PA-248 at Lehigh Gap, PA. The driveway is located on the southeast side of PA-873, just after the end of the bridge structure. LOOK FOR THE RED “1309” SIGN AT OUR ENTRY. There is open access from each direction.
As a continuation of a tradition, an ancillary activity to the Book Sale will be a bike ride. The ARH Ssection gang will be touring the D&L trail from Allentown to the Gap house (about 20 miles). Please contact Steve Olear for details.
Rich Taylor will present his photography of Easton to Scranton all prior to CNJ leaving Pennsylvania.
