Editing Palmer Township, Pennsylvania (section)

=== Rail ===
The last passenger rail service in the region, which was provided by [[SEPTA]], ceased operating in 1979. In September 2020, [[Amtrak]], as part of its expansion plan, proposed restoring rail service between Allentown and [[New York City]] by 2035. This largely single-track Amtrak route has been opposed by [[Norfolk Southern Railway]], which acquired the [[Lehigh Line (Norfolk Southern)|Lehigh Line]] as part of its purchase of [[Federal government of the United States|federally]]-founded [[Conrail]] in 1999. 

In November 2008, the Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation (LVEDC) and both Lehigh and Northampton counties commissioned a study, exploring restoration of the [[Black Diamond (train)|''Black Diamond'']] service, which ran until 1961, which would likely entail extending [[New Jersey Transit]]'s [[Raritan Valley Line]] to nearby Easton.
