Reading and Northern SD50's 5014 and 5017 leads train NRFF across Hometown Highbridge, with freight bound for Jim Thorpe from North Reading.

On a gorgeous fall evening, Reading & Northern 425 leads the first autumn leaf excursion of the year at Miller's Crossing, bound for Port Clinton and the new Outer Station.

The 425 is nearing the summit with 14 cars and an assist from EMD, with the signal beckoning her toward Nesquehoning Junction. The branch to the left leads to Delano Junction.

RBMN 3052 and 5033 leads train WHFF north by the former Reading Lines depot in Tamaqua.

The 425 pauses while the trainman bends the iron from the Tremont Branch to the Minersville Branch.

A PRR cabin car sits patiently in the background as the Hogger watches for signals from his brakeman while making switching movements in the east end of the CNJ yard at Jim Thorpe.
