One of the highlights of Schuylkill Haven Borough Day was a large-scale garden-style layout featuring G-Scale LGB (Lehman Gross Bahn) trains. A dedicated group of volunteers built this garden railway from 1991-1999 and one final appearance in 2007. The railway also made a guest appearance at the Maple Leaf Farm in December 1994. Here are scenes from the early 1990's showing this great railway. ...
Chapter 6 - Re aligning CP Belt

This video is the last in my series about Conrail in and about the Reading, PA area in the 1990's. It shows track re-alignment from a north-south orientation to an east-west orientation to better serve current train movements. The "old days" were mostly anthracite coal moving south to the docks at Philadelphia. By the 1960's the coal dried up and movements were more aligned east-west from Harri...

    Near the beginning of the video, I heard a 6 Chime whistle that I couldn’t identify, as it wasn’t her Reading 6 Chime. Almost sounded like a Boston & Maine 6 Chime, but I can’t be sure. Anybody know which one it is?

      @stcyardmaster6094 Год назад

      I don't know why the additional diesels were added to pull the RDC's. Possibly to ensure no RDC failures would hold up the main excursion with #2102? The next day's video from the Port Clinton webcam showed the 3 RDC's running without any aditional locomotives.

    Yes - "PN" is the former Reading RR telegraph name for the station. R&N still uses it for its train names (like PNMV - Port Clinton Minersville, etc). Check out the Reading Co. Technical & Historical Society's website, I think they still have a page with many of the old station names. Old employee timetables also list them. Some others that come to mind - Reading = "D", Pottsville Jct. = "MJ", Mill Creek Jct. = "CA".

    Look at our beloved steam stars, 2102 and 425, sitting patiently in their stalls, waiting patiently for the return they know, must sure come soon. Many years would pass before fire lit one of their bellies again, and then more yet before both would yawn with steam, and stretch upon the tracks again. But it was worth the wait, for in 2022, 23 years after this video, when steam and steel would burst forth to a packed crowd and adoring fans at every crossing and field. This old railfan hopes that steam will never truly die. God bless Andy Muller and the Reading and Northern.

Better get ready for the NEW roaring 2020's once the excursion season opens. Get your batteries charged!
