PHOTOS; Trip to Jim Thorpe

Posted by kp5308 on Tue Oct 19 18:35:50 2021

An F9A, F7B, SD50-2 and 17 cars at North Reading PA on Friday the 15th. The Saturday and Sunday trips are sold out:
RBMN 270

Nice:
Tickets please

The first 2 coaches were held for loading at Port Clinton:
Picking up passengers

Passing an Anthracite waste pile at South Tamaqua. This byproduct is called culm and is presently burned in local power plants for electric generation:
Culm piles

Mileposts on the Reading side list the distance from Reading Terminal. Tamaqua Tunnel is in the distance:
A hundred miles from Reading Terminal

Crossing the ex-Jersey Central bridge at Homewood:
Approaching the bridge
View from the high bridge

The RDC set idles west of the Jim Thorpe station. The Budd cars run from Pottsville on Saturdays and Sundays during October. All 10 trips for 2021 sold out in a matter of days:
RBMN 9166

The sun comes out briefly once we stop to unload at the station:
RBMN 270

Ex-CSX SD50-2...one of two in the gray/black scheme:
RBMN 5019

The railroad sponsors entertainment in the town during the course of the year but IIRC it is not done for every special event. Just think, if Andy Muller did not outsmart the township supervisors last year none of this would be happening:

I have a Motorola One and it ain't all that Chuck. Zooming in is particularly bad. My old Sony is way better!
