What was the routing for the Peeps loads? LNE through Bethlehem Junction to Allentown yard? Was it instead some kind of direct movement through Bethlehem and across the Lehigh River to the Bethlehem Branch?

Great train idea. My wife, a Peep fan, loved it!

Happy Easter All!!! I was hoping the "peep" train would have been routed the LNE interchanged at "Greenwood" brought down to Tamaqua yard and possibly unloaded them at the team track. Boy are they good!!!

Peeps are made by Just Born Candies, headquartered in Bethlehem. Account clearances between Bethlehem and Allentown (notably the single track truss bridge over the Lehigh River between JU and Bethlehem), the peeps were transloaded via crane in Allentown Yard and sent west along the East(er) Penn Branch as a high-wide load to Reading...
