Viewing Album:  RBMN Pottsville Express
 
By:Kevin Painter
Dates:11/20/2021 - 11/20/2021
Album Info:Didn't go as planned...twice! First off the RDC3 couldn't make the Jim Thorpe trip so the RDC1 that was going to go solo to Pottsville was replaced by a GP38-2 and 2 of the recently acquired Iowa Pacific coaches. Couldn't get the Geep started the next day so an SD50-GP39RN set took charge. Good teamwork by the Reading and Northern staff to adapt to the drama. Also shot the RDC1 set on the Jim Thorpe service, some of the recent additions to the passenger car fleet and a look at the scene at Port Clinton.
