DVD summary:
In Volume 3 of Railfanning the Reading, we’ll pick up where we left off in Volume 2 at 12th Street Allentown and traverse the East Penn Branch to the cross line proceeding west to Carlisle Junction.
We’ll follow up with a branch tour on the Bethlehem branch from Bethlehem to Lansdale, short scenes on the C&F branch, an excursion and then riding the Perk local on the Perkiomen branch and finally a tour of the Schuylkill and Lehigh branch in Reading operation and briefly under the WK&S
Narrated with commentary by Mike Bednar.
Mostly color; approximately 58 minutes runtime
Take a ride on the Reading, do not collect $200. This guy is priceless.
Amazing footage of sights long gone. Lansdale looked so different back then... except the station building. Still there!
Hi Thunderbolt
And no more commuter service outside of electrified territory to Quakertown and Bethlehem with diesel power. From north of Quakertown to Hellertown is a rail trail. Telford to Quakertown is operated by East Penn for freight service and south of Telford by Penn Northeastern. New Hope and Ivyland has operated excursions from Lansdale to Souderton in recent years, and North Wales to Gwynedd Valley with #40 and the SEPTA genset a few years ago.
Mike's CD's are well worth the price! I have a number of them and I can sit and listen to them for hours!!
@Kingsley Mitchell did you and your friend loyd get tossed in the klink or what?

Fantastic, thanks a lot! ;)
My grandfather was a brakeman on Reading GP-30's.
Encore! 👍🏻👍🏻
The timespan of the original Reading Rambles with the surviving T-1's from 1959 to 1964 was almost like the timespan of the Norfolk Southern 21st Century steam excursions. Just six years then it was over. But, Blue Mountain and Reading, now Reading and Northern bought 2102 in 1986 and brought train rides back to the Reading area in 1985. There were mainline excursions with 2102 in Sept 1985 and fall 1987 and 1988 over Conrail departing from the BM&R stations. There were also excursions with 972 from Jim Thorpe out of Reading in fall 1983.
Incredible footage, thanks so much Thumbs Up 😎👍
Great video. Thank you
Love these films ..
Looks like a great program. However, I think your programs should have a narration on/off feature.
Thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately, our editing suite does not have that ability when compiling the data to disc image. Most software that does have the capability is quite expensive and requires one to learn a whole new program. Maybe some day when we hit the lottery
Blasphemy Sir! With Big Mike narrating, there should be a video on/off feature. Either way, great stuff.
@@vicodumb Big Mike is a national treasure
@@yrunaked4 DAMN RIGHT!!! Nobody knows the Anthracite region better than Mike.
Wonderful glimpse into the past!! 👍👍👍
