Best Cab View (Maybe)

Took a fun ride on the READING & NORTHERN RAILROAD.1ST they let me put my gopro hero 9 on the front of the engine for an awesome view up to White Haven PA. This was a great train ride. Relax and ride comfortably in vintage coaches built as early as 1917 pulled by diesel engines. The trip follows the majestic Lehigh River over bridges, through Glen Onoko, and into the Lehigh Gorge State Park. It was about 1hr 15 minute train ride. I did the bike train. You put your bike on the train then bike the 25 miles back to the town of Jim Thorpe.

What a fantastic railway plant reflecting the impressive vision of an earlier era!!! 2023/11/24. Ontario, Canada

Great vid, going to watch on big screen 👍🚂🚂

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

That would be cool to see you on the giant screen. Thank you for watching.

THANK YOU AND THE CLASS ACT THAT IS THE R&N RR for making this beautiful video available to those of us that are handicapped and otherwise haven't got the money to enjoy this ride first-hand!!!! May I suggest that you "kick this video up a couple of notches" by including a tasteful map of the R&N AND the route of this ride -- and also adding some discreet white lettering at the bottom of the screen pointing out points of historical & other interest along the route, such as abandoned towers, siding & station point names, siding & spur names, rivers, other RR (branches), etc. etc. if possible. It would also be interesting to know how fast that big deer was galloping, pacing the train, earlier-on in the video! I second the motion to make more videos like this one if you can!! Nice Work!!!

It's quite apparent that they have taken care of the track and roadbed. New ties and rail along side the RofW is apparent. Very nice and TY. Jim Hatboro, PA

[@johndermont2231]

I like how the engineer opens it up and you can hear the locomotive steppin' it up!

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

That was a great train ride. Thank you for watching.

[@andrepiekarek7047]

Je suis impressionné par ces grands espaces et le tracé de la voie si large au milieu nul part. Merci, thank-you...😊

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

Je suis heureux que vous ayez aimé la vidéo. Merci d'avoir regardé.

[@nealgordon3712]

Excellent ride,no maybe,s about it, just an express ride from point a to point b with no stops,nor signal lights. Only forestry is all you see,along with some sqeals from the track. Very enjoyable ride thanks for sharing.

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

Happy you like the ride. Thank you for watching.

[@Dan-uv5lw]

Another cool video

[@davidcole258]

Great to see a cab view on this side of the oceans. It would be good to see more of these as trains show more of the countryside than from a car. Thanks!

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

Happy you liked it. Thank you for watching.

[@harrychest4303]

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

I have Done a few on the DC metro subway. I Wish I could do more of these, but train companies are Strick about it. Thank you for watching.

[@barrykrebs8180]

Saw a deer chasing the train-cute!

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

Yes that was pretty cool. Thank you for watching.

[@captain1256]

This is amazing! Beautiful view!

[@fahrbierde]

I rode that train in 2019, but back then we didn't go that far... it was an about 20min ride and then turn at 20:08 and go back. However, great view from the head of the train! Love it!

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

It was a great ride. Thank you for watching.

[@jtbassgambler2594]

Awesome

[@RailFanRob]

I've have been there many times riding on the trains but never in the cab!! I have since moved to Florida and miss riding and railfanning RN. Awesome video man!

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

Thank you for watching

[@pxbaa]

A wonderful deer at 30 minutes. Really nice stream-- thanks.

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

Thank you for watching.

[@user-bu5gk7it7y]

Vary cool

[@LRSX]

Nice video! I agree one of the best cab rides one can do! I saw myself up in the rocks af 10:54 Really enjoyed this! Take care!

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

Thats pretty cool you were in the video. Thank you for watching.

[@ilya-sukhanov]

Very beautiful route, great video

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

Im glad you liked it.Thank you for watching

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Didn't realize what a speedway the old LVRR was through the gorge. Conrail replaced all the searchlights with tri-lights I see. When you see the bike trail at various points that is the old CNJ railroad. The tower in ruins near the beginning is CNJ's Nesquehoning Junction. That track was relaid by RBMN after they condensed operations onto the LVRR in '65.

[@sereminar4]

cute deer running at 29:00

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

Nice catch. Thank you for watching

[@living4christ]

Make some more like this, a couple hours would be good if you can. This was good, I don't think I have seen any other vids with a view like that.

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

Ill try.Thank you for watching

[@andrewdutton3831]

Awesome...was this the bike train? That runs very infrequently. Goof catch.

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

Yes this is the bike train. Thank you for watching.

[@robertalbertson889]

Was this train actually going thar fast, or did you speed up the playback on the video? It seems like that train is going pretty fast for the track conditions? Hahaha 😁 😊

[@PJ-Slots-Entertainment]

Pretty cool they let you mount the GoPro on the front. Nice you had the entire ride captured. What kind of mount did you use?

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

The magnet I use is good up to 150 mph.or even higher. Thank you for watching.

[@josephinebennington7247]

Offset fish plates in places. Never seen that before.

[@JoseMartinez-lf5fg]

Nice ride but that bridge at the 1:05 mark needs serious work!!!!!!!!

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

I'M guessing they know that. Thank you for watching.

[@Normal1855]

Why does a 6 month old video, have the video quality from 20 years ago?

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

Sorry Everyone else seem to like it. I thought it was ok for a gopro hero 9. Thank you for watching.

[@Normal1855]

@@MarkTheLostTraveler It's clear now. It must have been youtube.

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

@@Normal1855 OK THX

[@kennyward4674]

😅 If you're looking for a nice leisurely train ride through the countryside, this ain't it. Looked like he pulled out in notch 5 and was at 8 before the third car passed the starting point. ...hope everybody was seated before they took off.

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

It was a nice ride. The train was just taking all of us to the next town so we could all bike back. Thank you for watching.
