[@camhitchcock8659]

Gold Star Jamie! Terrific video. I enjoyed all the views, commentary, and chats with Andy. Nice job! Thanks! 😀

[@JamieMakin]

Thanks and you're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video and the information.

[@joegotlewski413]

Awesome! Can’t wait to ride in the Salisbury Beach on June 22nd for the Iron Horse Ramble from Nesquehoning to Tunkhannock.

[@JamieMakin]

I hope you enjoy it, it's a really nice car and it rides super smooth!

[@bekleidungu.ausrustung7068]

Excellent video Jaime!! Thanks so much for showing the interiors of some of the recent purchased cars. And you're right, there are so many great views along this route!. I really enjoyed the ride. Can't wait for part 2!!🚂🚃🚃🚃

[@JamieMakin]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the car and route in this video. The next video will be the wye move of these cars while they were in Jim Thorpe, and the one after that will be the return trip.

[@TheShortlinefoamer]

Awesome Video Jamie! I really enjoyed getting to see some of the new cars on the interior for the first time! As i have said before, I can always rely on Jamie to catch anything special or new on the R&N! Have great start of the week Jamie! Scott

[@JamieMakin]

Thanks, Scott! I'm really glad I could bring this exclusive footage to you and other rail fans. Enjoy your week as well!

[@BeeLineEast]

Well ill be darned Jamie. I have a video of them Going by Hummelstown Pa. On Norfolk Southern 30a.Now i know where they were going. I was very surprised when they went by. Nice video . Glad you posted this video.

[@JamieMakin]

That's really cool that you have video of them being delivered! Glad you were able to find out their destination through my video.

[@BeeLineEast]

@@JamieMakin Yes Jamie thanks. I had no idea where they were going. That was a cold snowy day I remember.They were on the last 2 cars of the manifest.

[@rocksolidimages70]

Thanks for this, we were riding on this one. I admit I didn't realize the two new cars were in the consist as we had boarded at PC so we didn't see them. I did have a look inside the Queen of the Valley, that was appointed beautifully for Valentine's Day.

[@JamieMakin]

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed your ride and my video of it. The new cars were pretty far back from the station at Port Clinton, so that makes sense that you wouldn't have seen them. Glad you go to visit the Queen of the Valley, it really did look great for the holiday!

[@DelHudson1]

Nice job on filming this one. My favorite part was seeing all the different rolling stock in the sidings along the way. Great to hear they snatched away the log car service.

[@JamieMakin]

Thanks Del!

[@samanthab1923]

Very cool 🚂 the one car with all the bedrooms & roomettes reminds me of a doc I saw on the old Circus trains. Enjoy

[@JamieMakin]

Cool, glad you enjoyed it!

[@kennethhanks6712]

The section ("open") sleeping accomodations were not usual for post war "modern" light weight sleeping cars as they were a feature of older heavy weight equipment before newer enclosed bedrooms and roomettes became predominate. Generally the sections postwar that some railroads still provided in their newer equipment (in limited numbers) were used primarily for government travelers, etc as Uncle Sam would usually only reimburse their employee travel expenses for the cheaper rates and not the more "pricey" enclosed units.

[@JamieMakin]

That's excellent information, thanks for sharing!

[@jasonoliver5388]

Robert Claytor who was the CEO of the N&W later on NS used that car from time to time when he was running the 611 or 1218.

[@JamieMakin]

Cool!

[@E89drummerE39]

Has there been any word as to when some of the standard coaches might get repainted? They've been looking pretty faded the last few years.

[@JamieMakin]

I am hopeful that at least some of them will get painted this year. I believe they plan to repaint all of them, but it definitely takes time to get to each one.

[@dennis78382]

❤️🙏❤️🇺🇸❤️🙏❤️ Good afternoon Jamie. I gave this a full watch but to be honest, I can't really focus on videos right now. Just wanted to know that I'm still supporting you.🇺🇸👍

[@JamieMakin]

Good afternoon, Dennis! It's wonderful to hear from you, and I 110% understand that your focus needs to be on getting better. I appreciate you stopping by in light of everything you're going through. You're a true friend, and I wish you all the best!

[@OldsVistaCruiser]

It's always good to see Andy Muller in an RBMN video, especially in a speaking role!

[@JamieMakin]

Glad you enjoyed it, that's something I'll have to catch more often!

[@OldsVistaCruiser]

@@JamieMakin - I'd actually love to see him narrate videos in the capacity that he often creates for himself as a public relations employee of RBMN!

[@brianfalzon6739]

Looks like the R&N is about to get even alot more bigger and expandable in the future!

[@JamieMakin]

They definitely are!

[@VirgotheDrusky]

Have you heard of any plans or rumors that they're going to be installing a larger turntable to be able to turn 2102 at Port Clinton?

[@JamieMakin]

No, I have not heard anything about that.

[@rsconover7957]

9:19 Does the Glen Onoko Falls car have a porch door like that one?

[@JamieMakin]

I'm pretty sure it does.

[@rsconover7957]

Cool! I also saw the back door opening on the King Coal to let people through when it wasn’t on the end of the train!

[@JamieMakin]

King Coal's back door is really cool, I got to go through it when it was on the inaugural Pittston train.

[@Westerner78]

Gee I wish the B&M lettering would remain. It's such a rare piece of historical conventional equipment!

[@JamieMakin]

I'd love to see it stay too, but I'm pretty sure it won't.

[@nomadsempirebuilder9461]

PUNKROCK 🤘😎

[@paulsmith5398]

Ohhhhhh Jamie........🤣🤣🤣🤣 i was so engrossed in watching the video, i forgot i had water running in the kitchen sink 😨😱😨😱❕ My cat was acting funny, and i looked over to see.............a lake in my kitchen 😱❕

[@JamieMakin]

Uh oh!!! Hopefully nothing was damaged, and maybe your cat enjoyed a little swim!

[@paulsmith5398]

@@JamieMakin The cat had hopped up on the table and was looking toward the sink, there was some carpeting that got soaked, but the tile on the kitchen floor is clean now!🤣🤣😸😸❕ ive got ceiling fans going and the patio door open, its nice here in Illinois for a couple days, highs in the upper 70s❕

[@87flyerfan]

Are you going on the RDC trip to Mt. Carmel in April? So looking forward to it!!

[@JamieMakin]

I wish I was riding that one! I planned to buy a ticket, but it sold out so fast that I missed the chance. I'm seriously bummed out because that's going to be an epic trip! I'll probably end up chasing it.

[@paulsmith5398]

Sheeeeeeesh!, not very often you get to ride with the owner/president of a railroad..........ohhhhh, i dont mind a little wind noise, its just another part of railroading!👍👍🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃👍👍😀😃😀😃😀😃❕

[@JamieMakin]

Glad you enjoyed the video and didn't mind the wind noise! My new mic arrived today, but I still have to pair it with the camera and try it out. Hopefully I can ride with Andy again in the future, he's a cool guy!

[@paulsmith5398]

@@JamieMakin i hope Andy likes your walk-throughs, thats one great way to attract more riders to the special excursions, and earn some revenue to keep RBMN running👍👍❕
