New Freight Customer Spotlight and Ballast Train Chase

[@billyrueckert5113]

R&N is a class act. Building new infrastructure for customers. Delivered personally by the owner. Talk about fostering relationships. You love to see it!

💯✔👍

[@RBMN]

That's what this railroad has been all about since day one. Thank you!

[@brianfalzon6739]

Can’t wait for the R&N to keep on continuing to grow a lot more bigger and even more expandable in the future!

[@RBMN]

We certainly share that wish! Thank you!

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

Well, when Jamie Makin, "The Voice Of The Reading and Northern" shows up we just know she's got something good, and so it proved! Interesting video Jamie! Shows us the R&N isn't all show, there's some real "nuts n' bolts" railroading going on. Thanks for posting!

[@RBMN]

Ooooooh! Russ Scianna might have something to say about that! Did Jamie pay you to write that? Anyway, yes, we are a very active railroad in both freight and passenger.

Started off with ex-Santa Fe CF7 diesels from Cleburne, Texas. A long way from the original Blue Mountain & Reading 13 mile Hamburg to Temple ex-ConRail, ex-ex-Reading Company line.

[@bradleymcwilliams6348]

Thanks for the inside peek of the operation. And congrats on the new customer, hope it works out great!

[@RBMN]

We hope so too!

Now he needs to get the rest of the NS Upper Lehigh Line between Allentown and Lehighton he would have two shortlines to interchange with. The Chestnut Ridge Railroad in Palmerton PA and the NDC in Northampton PA

[@donniee1934]

Thanks Happy rails to you guys

[@RBMN]

Thank you!

[@TimIvins]

I would love to ride on a train like that

[@RBMN]

It's not one you see every day for sure!

[@happyhome41]

Thank you so much Jamie ! Great news - new paying service. Most excellent, and I have to believe there are nearby residents happy to take those trucks off the road. Now then, I have to ask, what is with the caboose ? Who uses those anymore ? Obviously you do - what is/are the occasion(s) ?

[@RBMN]

The railroad uses a caboose in many situations, particularly those that involve longer shoving moves.

[@HorstHelmutHenßen]

[@RBMN]

Thank you very much!

[@ẞE2OO8]

Do you guys have a date that 425 might return to service?

[@SaugertiesRailfan]

Was that the owner at the end 😂??

[@RBMN]

Ha ha, not quite!

[@cwk_619]

"de-coupled" ???? I'm going with UN-COUPLED.

[@RBMN]

Either one works!

[@csxns]

Sorry Truckers.

[@RBMN]

Well, there is a time and place for those too. This was just a good opportunity for the railroad since the customer is right along our tracks!

[@calitrainman]

That is a new Spur Track. A siding has two switches and a spur track is a dead end.

[@RBMN]

We call them sidings, but a track with a switch on each end in our world is called a runaround.
