Glad you enjoyed it!

Probably, however #113 had to be pulled off the train for mechanical issues. The Minersville trains will now be diesel-powered. Please see the "Minersville" section of our Santa Trains page for more information.

Maybe one of these holidays #2102 will make an appearance; however our goal is to keep the cost of Santa train tickets affordable for families. Operating the steam locomotive is VERY expensive.

She'll be back soon! Just as rebuilding the #2102 was a meticulous task, so too is rebuilding #425. We will all be excited to see #425 again!

That could happen, you never know!

The Lounge tends to sell to smaller groups, so we wanted to make it a more intimate setting than the Standard or Crown Class coaches.

Don't know about the RBMN logo but CNJ #113 will be featured on our Minersville Santa Trains December 14 & 15!

Great I am very excited I will be there

Great to hear!

Nothing major to report right now... our steam crew is preparing for our final #2102 excursion of the year taking place this Saturday, 10/26/2024. We will likely have updates on #425 as the year draws to a close.

Awesome! You will enjoy that for sure!

When not in operation, they sit side-by-side in our steam shop. You will hear 425 again!

Thank you, we hope it helps folks decide which car they would like the best when they visit, or that it inspires multiple visits so they can try them all!

@RBMN well let's say it did inspire my wife and I. We visited last Sunday!

Not at all... the leaves are actually changing already!

They are, and we have lots of them to choose from!

Hello! Glad to hear of your interest with working on our steam locomotives! The position would be called a "steam mechanic" which is within our "steam shop" department. Right now, we do not have any openings. But, you can always look into www.rbmnrr.com/employment regularly to see if a new job is posted 😀. All the best!

Thank you for the suggestion! That may be a possibility depending on @jamiemakin and her busy schedule! She wears many hats at the railroad.

That's on my list to film very soon!

@@JamieMakin Thanks

@@RBMN She replied, thanks.

That is correct! The King Coal car is still our number seven whereas the Cafe is housed within crown class coach 450 👍

Thank you, that is what we were striving for!

Nope, the Dome Cars stayed at Jim Thorpe on the LGSR in this case.

​@@RBMN - I'm surprised that you didn't include one of the three as a separate seating level.

The LGSR is located in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania.

We can't either, but all good things take time, especially restoring/rebuilding a steam locomotive.

That is almost certainly on the list as we develop the Nesquehoning Campus!

Thank you! We think it is fabulous too!

We sure do! "Come take a ride" is good advice!

@@RBMN Heh! have a raily! great day. :))

Sorry you could not make it, but watching the video is the next best thing!

​@RBMN - I was across the tracks videoing the departure of the train from a safe location because I was limited in my movement from recent leg surgery and was confined to my car.. Thank you for an impressive show once again!

@@RBMN That’s okay, I plan on riding the Fall Foliage excursions this year. My sister is coming up from Texas to visit. We’re riding the last 2102 fall foliage excursion on October 26th in the Parlor Car. This is her first time riding it so I can’t wait to see what she thinks of it! It’s also going to be my third time riding in the Parlor Car. Looking forward to October 26th!🚂🍂🍁

We run rain, snow, or shine. The Dome's exact return date in November is TBD.

Neither can we, but all good things take time!

You're right

That would unfortunately be difficult because we would have to run over Norfolk Southern rails to reach either of those places. Great idea however!

We will be sure to post another update once it is filmed!

Thx I like to hear that

@@RBMNwhat work was even done since then

Thank you! We hope to be running excursions from there for many years to come.

It will get there. We just want to ensure it is done correctly.

We have the Dome Car available right now on our LGSR train in Jim Thorpe through September 22, 2024. After that it will be used on our Fall Foliage excursion trains from Reading and Pittston. We expect the Dome Car to return to the LGSR in mid-November.

Glad you liked it! We have had folks from all over the world come to ride our trains, we hope to see you too!

​@@RBMN - On October 1, 2022, I rode behind the 2102. I encountered an Englishman as one of my fellow passengers!

We look forward to seeing you!

We might do just that on a futrure excursion. Right now, #1983 is busy hauling freight.

We'll make sure #2102 is ready!

That was a very hot day but certainly a memorable one!

Ha ha yes, our narrator fancies himself a comedic impressionist!

Maybe someday! We would have to get permission from the artist first.
