A wonderful tourist railroad which use to run trains north of Reading Pennsylvania. From Temple to Hamburg back in the day. I went there from 1987 to 1991. No camera though at the time. Still the internet has memories for some of us.
Now known as the Reading and Northern Railroad. Although the route is no longer in use the Reading and Northern Railroad runs passenger trains on its network.

Back in the 1960s when the engine was used in railfan excursions.
In addition to 2102 being restored another similar one is being worked on. 2100 may run this decade. Some sight to see those two Northern style engines in service.

Actually a former tourist operation out of Temple Pennsylvania Jeff. They do not run on that branch line anymore. I read they use it to store some freight cars.
There is a historical society at the other end of the branch line in Hamburg Pennsylvania. They have passenger cars and engines up there.
The company is now called Reading and Northern. They run their passenger cars in nearby towns in eastern Pennsylvania.
They built a new station in nearby North Reading to run some of their service. So they are still in business.
I just like to remember the past when they were a smaller company.
