DVD summary below:
In volume two of the Reading Blue Mountain and Northern, we step back a bit and visit various locations along the railroad from April through July 1991, including operations on the Minersville and Tremont branches.
We’ll begin at Temple on the original Blue Mountain and Reading former Pennsy line and work our way to Tamaqua and Cressona. We then chase the Mountain Job from Gordon to Schuylkill Haven and back to Cressona. And we’ll wrap up this volume by pursuing the jobs out of Cressona on the Minersville and Tremont branches.
As seen in the first volume, trackage on these branches was some of the worst on the railroad, with limits of 10 miles per hour or less. Stalling and going “on the ground” was always a high probability on these parts due to a lack of maintenance by Conrail and its predecessors.

The narration by Mr. Bednar makes these films so enjoyable.
Amazing Video of the RBMN/BMRG!!
My favorite Mike line is " gimme 12 Yenko hotdogs and a diet Coke...and HURRY...I'm hungry...."
He talks about donuts too
mine is a toss up between "Channel 8, dont be late" and " 6 C628's, every track foremen's nightmare"
This railroad went from nothing to one of the best regionals railroads around and now are strictly EMD powered.
Are there any vids of the Catawissa branch?
Yes, in the RBMN era, Volume 4 shows a cab ride over part of the line as well as the former LV line to Delano and there is some brief footage on a fan trip in Volume 5. In the Reading era, almost all of the Kantner series has footage of the Catawissa Branch. AND Iron Horse Rambles to West Milton also features footage on the branch during the Rambles in the early 60s
