The Reading & Northern Railroad is one of the most exciting regional railroads in North America. Located in the scenic mountains of eastern Pennsylvania, the RBM&N operates across a 400 mile rail system.

See the Reading & Northern's flagship train, the “NRFF,” their fast freight that runs from North Reading to Pittston and even runs on a set schedule! You’ll see R&N locals such as the Mountain Job, Hazleton local, Pottsville local to the Yuengling Brewery, Pittston local with the SW8 “Pups” and switching at the Penobscot and Port Clinton yards. Both steam, diesel, and even BUDD cars are featured on the RBM&N’s passenger trains as well as the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway.

See RBM&N 425, a 462 Pacific that operates on both the Lehigh Gorge trains and also day long excursions out of North Reading. Also see the Reading & Northern’s beautiful F Units on an Office Car Special with vintage passenger equipment.

The RBM&N diesel roster consists of: SW8, SW8m, SW1500, MP15, GP382, GP39RN, SD38, SD402, SD50, SD502, F7b, F9a, RDC3, RDC1.
