PHOTOS; Then and Now

Typical friction bearings in a not so typical Taylor passenger car truck under a former Reading MU car:

That same truck modified for roller bearings sits outside the Reading and Northern shop in Port Clinton. Actually most of the work gets done to the bearing boxes:

I don't think ANYONE could have predicted we would see roller bearing Taylors:

Rain or shine we intend on riding #213 to Jim Thorpe this Saturday:
RBMN 213

Are all the RBMN excursion cars roller bearing now or just that one?

The 213 is the only coach. The Super Dome was built with rollers but IIRC these are replacements. That is a 20 ton air conditioner in #4 :
RBMN 4 mechanicals

Plus both ex-CNJ open cars:
RBMN 9
RBMN 11

I'll be asking on Saturday if more coaches, including the ex-Lackawanna fleet will get done. Although I have not viewed all 12 I believe the Iowa Central cars bought at auction are all RB equipped.
