Ken Bealer and I grew up in a different era. The era we live in now is far different from that which we grew up in during the 1950's and 1960's. Kenny Bealer's dad, Charlie, worked at the Catasauqua Tower on the Lehigh Valley and his grandfather worked out of Catasauqua for the Reading Co. as the engineer on the C & F (Catasauqua and Fogelsville Branch).

Meanwhile, in 1846, Edward R. Biddle formed a group seeking to build a railroad to the coal fields. Packer invested in the company. However, when the canal owners (Lehigh Coal and Navigation) scared railroad investors with reports of the impossibility of passing through the mountains, investors withdrew their money from the project. In 1851, when it appeared that railroad company was about to fold, Asa Packer purchased a majority of the company's stock. By 1855, Asa Packer had laid 46 miles of track between Mauch Chunk and Easton. At Easton, his Lehigh Valley Railroad connected with the New Jersey Central Railroad. Besides providing a year round means of transporting coal, the Lehigh Railroad also passed the iron foundries in Catasauqua and Bethlehem.
