The 'Lehigh Division' line consists of trackage along rights of ways dating back to acts of legislature in 1837 under the sponsorship of the Pennsylvania Canal Commission from former Lehigh Valley Railroad (LVRR), Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad (L&S) and Central Railroad of New Jersey (CNJ) lines which leased the L&S trackage and yards from 1876-1976 and the founding of Conrail. The longest run of the road runs along the upper or Grand division of the historic Lehigh Canal.The Division runs from its southern terminus in Packerton just south of the Lehigh Gap north past Jim Thorpe along both banks of the Lehigh on former LVRR trackage along the left bank Lehigh through the Lehigh Gorge from Nesquehoning Junction, to White Haven where it crosses to the right bank joining former L&S trackage for the long the climb up along the middle elevations of Penobscot Knob looming above the yard the line passes through at Mountain Top, Pennsylvania. From there throughout the decent to the CPR/NS junction just west of 207 Coolidge St, Pittston, PA (Dupont) is double tracked. At Dupont descending traffic can switch Northeast to the Taylor Yard in Taylor, PA (CPR), or cross west beyond I-81 and PA-11 to traverse the descent from Dupont, Avoca (below the Airport and I-81) and alongside the steep descent along Railroad Street in Duryea through the Duryea Yard near Pittston, PA along then up river on LVRR to Mehoopany, about half-way to Sayre, PA.
