The Reading & Northern Railroad is one of the most exciting regional railroads in North America. Located in the scenic mountains of eastern Pennsylvania, the RBM&N operates across a 400 mile rail system. See the Reading & Northern’s flagship train “NRFF”, the North Reading fast freight to Pittston that even runs on a set schedule! You’ll see R&N locals such as the Mountain Job, Hazleton local, Pottsville local to the Yuengling Brewery, Pittston local with the SW8 “Pups” and switching at the Penobscot and Port Clinton yards. Both steam, diesel, and even BUDD cars are featured on the RBM&N’s passenger trains as well as on the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway. See Reading & Northern 425, a 4-6-2 Pacific that operates on both the Lehigh Gorge trains and day long excursions out of North Reading. Also see the Reading & Northern’s beautiful F-Units on an Office Car Special with vintage passenger equipment. The RBM&N diesel roster consists of: SW8, MP15, GP38-2, GP39N, SD38, SD40-2, SD50, SD50-2, F9 A&B and RDC-1. Rail footage era 2021 from the camera of Bradley A. Plets.

In Part 1 which was made before the return of T-1 2102 in the spring of 2022, there are not only a big parade of diesels from former Norfolk Southern F-unit 4270 & B unit 4275 as R&N 270 & 275 to the larger SD50s & RDC Budd Cars, but also former Gulf Mobile & Northern 4-6-2 425 making several appearances in the Pocono Mountains of the Keystone State at locations like the Reading Outer Station with Canadian Pacific 4-6-0 225 on display at the parking lot that was originally numbered 1098, Mohrsville, the Port Clinton Shops, Molino Farm, New Ringgold, Tamaqua Station with equipment on display & the 926 Foot Long Tunnel, Park Crest, Hometown, Nesquehoning, the brand new built Bridge over the Lehigh River, Jim Thorpe, Gilberton, Locus Gap, Mt.
