Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway Live Cam – Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania

Welcome to the livestream of the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway, operated by the Reading Blue Mountain and Northern Railroad, in the historic town of Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania.

The railway runs excursion trains from Jim Thorpe into the Lehigh Gorge State Park, following the Lehigh River through a deep, forested gorge in the Pocono Mountains. The trips use vintage coaches, and the line is especially popular in autumn, when the hillsides blaze with colour.

What to watch for

• Excursion trains departing and arriving
• Vintage passenger coaches and diesel locomotives
• Visitors around the historic station

Jim Thorpe, once known as Mauch Chunk, was a wealthy coal-mining town in the 19th century and is sometimes called the Switzerland of America for its mountain setting. It was renamed in 1954 after the Olympic champion Jim Thorpe, who is buried here. The historic station and Victorian downtown make it a favourite day trip. Trains run seasonally, with special events throughout the year. The stream is provided by Reading Blue Mountain & Northern Railroad.
