A 1950s model Budd rail diesel crosses the Hometown High Bridge over the Little Schuylkill River.
Originally there was a wooden bridge on the Lehigh and Susquehanna, which became part of the Central Railroad of New Jersey by lease in 1871. An iron bridge replaced the original. The current bridge was built in 1931.

This route is now part of the Reading Blue Mountain & Northern Railroad, and they do run excursion trains.
