CAPTAIN TAYLOR’S SWORD: In partnership with the Grand Army of the Republic Civil War Museum of Philadelphia, Historic Bethlehem’s museums and sites, and the Bethlehem Area School District, the Civil War Round Table Eastern Pa. Inc.is working to raise the $9,000 needed to acquire Bethlehem resident Captain Jonathon Taylor’s sword, which Taylor was reportedly holding when mortally wounded on Dec. 13, 1862, during the Battle of Fredericksburg.

Born in Carbon County in 1842, Taylor and his family moved to Bethlehem in 1858. When war came, Taylor enlisted in Co. A, 1st Pa. Volunteers on April 12, 1861, and served at the rank of private. He would later be among the early responders in 1862 to President Lincoln’s call for more men.

If this effort is successful, Taylor’s sword will become the focal point of a larger display that will be located at Nitschmann MS in Bethlehem.

TRANS-BRIDGE EXPANDS SERVICE: Trans-Bridge Lines is expanding service on all of its schedules. The company has been actively recruiting motor coach drivers amid a nationwide driver shortage in order to provide additional routes.

Commuters and early morning travelers who utilize the Allentown/Clinton/New York schedules will enjoy two new east- bound runs, both beginning with pickups at 6 a.m., as well as two westbound routes from New York. There will also be changes in stop locations on various routes to allow quicker arrival times to destinations. Additionally, routes that were previously Friday service only, are now transitioning to Monday through Friday service.

On the company’s Doylestown/Flemington schedules, weekend service will resume for the first time since October 2022, with one eastbound and one westbound run.

On its Wall Street schedules, Trans-Bridge Lines is introducing two added runs geared for commuters who require a slightly later arrival to Lower Manhattan and alternately, a slightly later return. The runs will operate Monday through Thursday.

On the more aesthetic side of things, schedules have been revamped for a cleaner, easier-to-read look, and run numbers on the Allentown/Clinton/New York Schedules have been renumbered for consistency.

Last, but not least is the return of pier transportation to Cape Liberty Cruise Port in Bayonne.
