Great to see new business for the company! Love seeing some footage from the Port Carbon area. Thank for catching this for us. Have a wonderful Christmas Jamie.
Merry Christmas Kevin! I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday. It was nice to get to chase something onto one of the small branch lines, and even nicer to see the railroad growing.
Thanks, Collin! Always great to see the railroad expanding, and it was cool to be involved in this from an initial (unfilmed) visit where we met with the customer and then I got to draw the track plan for it.
Hi Jamie!!! Thanks sooo much for this latest video!!! Because I am NUTS about EMD SD40-2 diesel-electric locomotives!!! So many great scenes shown in this wonderful video! Lots of really nice captures here, including this shot 👉 12:50. 😂 Watching your video makes me really proud I own three HO scale brass EMD SD40-2 models from my preferred and favorite importer Overland Models, Inc. Watching your video with the two SD40-2s brought out the kid in me! You know, I used to shy away from diesel-electrics because I'm a staunch traction guy and I LOVE steam, too. Now, I LOVE 'em all! Those two beautiful SD40-2 diesels are AWESOME!!!. I hope they remain well cared for, and I hope I see 'em again in your future videos. I enjoyed watching, and thanks for posting!!! 👋
Thanks and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! The SD40-2's are the real workhorses of R&N's freight operations, and they keep them in top running condition. Quite a few have been painted in recent years, and we should be painting two more in the spring. I'm looking forward to showing more of them in action as time goes on.
Nice video Jamie and I were wondering that Crown Class Coach in 3:09 which is the RBMN 454 would be restored so that the JTPI & PIJT could have six cars which would consist of RBMN 451, RBMN 452, RBMN 1166, RBMN 453, RBMN 454, and RBMN 7 in the future?
Hi Jamie! New friend Arie's World. Our good friend Boondocking with Dennis sent us here! 😊👍 Dont chase the trains they might run you over! Hehe j/k we like to have a little fun.
Hello and welcome to the channel! Dennis is too kind plugging my channel while dealing with so many challenges of his own. Hope you enjoy my videos too!
Hey Jamie. It’s pretty amazing how many times Andy has showed up in your videos. I wonder if Jeff Bezos ever delivers packages for Amazon? Thanks for the wonderful footage friend ! I hope you have a very merry Christmas! 🎄⛪️🌲
That's one of the reasons I admire Andy so much; he's super involved in every aspect of the railroad even though he's well past "retirement age" as so many people would consider it. He's got such a great passion for the railroad and it shows.

Awesome video Jamie! Nice to see R&N Growing more and more with their freight operations, and great coverage of this move!

Thanks so much, Scott! It's great to see all the growth at R&N.
Nice video Jamie! Very cool to see more new customers on the railroad!

Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
Great stuff, great history and relaying the locations.
Thanks so much! Glad you found the background info interesting.
Great job Jamie!! Always enjoy seeing new country here in Central PA.
Thanks so much!
Love seeing more business on the railroad, I hope to catch a video of them switching this customer someday soon.
Thanks! They said they'd let me know when the first shipment is being delivered, so hopefully I'll be able to catch it.
Great Film
Thanks!
God I miss seeing these trains!
I'd miss them a lot too if I ever moved out of the area. Do you have any railroads near your new home? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!
Fantastic video Jamie
Thanks!
Awesome, and it looks like the R&N is growing even a lot more bigger and even a lot more expandable!
R&N just keeps getting bigger and better!
@ yes, tell me about it!
Awesome Jamie and have a merry Christmas 🎅
Thanks and Merry Christmas to you too!

Thanks so much! There is talk of restoring RBMN 454, but so far no work has begun.
Happy Holidays Jamie and Reading&Northern!🚂🎄
Thanks Joe! And Happy Holidays to you and your dad as well!

Andy loves to introduce himself as being a member of the public relations department, not the owner!
Lol I've heard about that, though I have yet to hear him do so in person.
AAAAAAACK! Somebody messed with the crossing bell at Port Carbon, AAAAAAAACK❗
Lol!

Awesome video Jamie
