On our October 5th trip, we were driving back toward Jim Thorpe following the former Central Railroad of Jersey line that now serves as a link between two key portions of the Reading & Northern empire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we approached R&N’s new station at Nesquehoning, Pa., where earlier in the day we had photographed steam locomotive 2102 on its eastward journey, we spotted the headlights of a westward train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was R&N’s RDC trip returning to Pottsville (via Port Clinton).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I turned the car around, parked, and Kris and I jumped out to make photos. (And Seamus rolled the train by from inside the car).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pictures taken, we raced after the two-car pocket streamliner, catching it again a few minutes later at Panther Creek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m a big fan of the Budd RDC, so this was a bonus! It was an unexpected delight that added to our wonderful day following trains in coal country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
