After all the anticipation and preparation to get our new Nesquehoning passenger station ready for an Iron Horse Ramble on June 22nd, we are pleased to announce that we had a day for the history books!
Thank you to everyone who came to ride, chase, browse the new Black Diamond Company Store, or simply stop by to view the 2102. Your enthusiasm and support mean so much to us!
Speaking of enthusiasm, this video hopefully highlights the passion and care that RBMN workers have on duty. A passion that hopefully carries over to our riders and railfans. The energetic tone of one of our star narrators (Russ Scianna Jr.) and the positivity as well as the attention to detail expressed by our in-house rail historian behind the camera, Jamie Makin, are demonstrative of this.
We are proud and thankful of all of you!
🗣️A brief word on this video. This is quite a long effort from Jamie. However, there are so many highlights and interesting moments to target throughout each Iron Horse Rambles, it is really hard to cut video. So, you have the flexibility of using the timestamps below to move throughout the video as you see fit. We hope you enjoy it!
