2102 will be making it's first run beyond the new bridge down to the former Lehigh Valley Railroad track and up through the gorge as far as Tunkhannock for the first time on June 22, 2024. I'm going to be on it in standard coach hopefully near the front of the train. I rode a Reading to Jim Thorpe run on Oct 1, 2022. This year will be my fourth time behind 2012. The other two times were April 1988 South Hamburg to Temple and Sept. 7, 1991 Emmaus to Pennsburg. The June 22 excursion boards in Nesquehoning at the former KME/Kovatch facility that R&N now owns.
Today I was on the Lower Reading to JT run. 2102 backed out of the station unassisted, pushing the entire consists I presume to the wye and turning the train around. Two diesels seemed ready to assist in the JT yard but weren't used. I don't know why they did it that way. Maybe someone can explain it.
