“R&N Orthodoxy” The onion domed towers of St. John the Baptist Russian Orthodox Church dominate the borough of Nesquehoning, as Reading and Northern’s Fall Foliage F-unit excursion (Reading Outer Station to Jim Thorpe and return) bisects the KME Fire Apparatus complex at 16:08 on October 31, 2020.
Although the symbol of (at least) the northbound trip has been reported, in other venues, as “OSJT”, I can’t confirm that as an official designation. I only heard DS refer to this, the southbound leg, as “Extra 270”.
Although most only provide freight service, regional railroads have passenger operations; not only executive trains but also charity events and excursions.
