Three R&N "pups" parked by the corporate headquarters
circa 1986
After finishing this day's run up to Pittston, PA and return, the LEPI power is parked in-line with a newly constructed flagpole on the mountaintop across the river.
Train LEPI with an ex-GT SD38 and one of the SD45-2s has in today's consist a RMDI-rebuilt U23B for Wimpey Minerals in Annville, PA.
Ex-Lehigh Valley SW8 switches hoppers of anthracite in downtown Tamaqua.
SW1500 1546 passes out-of-service U23B 2395 in the former RDG Tamaqua yard.
U23B 2399 and B23-7 2300 handle an OCS movement to Jim Thorpe.
3601 will swing to the north (left side of the picture) to continue its return Journey to Jim Thorpe. Track in the foreground is the Mahanoy & Shamokin Branch.
R&N 1547 feels right at home, as the ex-RDG unit sits in the former RDG yard in Tamaqua, with a U23B and two lumber cars.
R&N SW1500 1545 and RDC1 9168 sit at the engine facility in Port Clinton.
R&N 2399 and 2398 pass over downtown Mahanoy City as they take their loaded hoppers of anthracite coal to Tamaqua.

R&N's ex-Southern Rwy B23-7 leads an office car special long-hood forward northbound through the Lehigh River Gorge.
R&N's engine facility takes on the appearance of a model railroad layout, with the variety of locomotives and paint schemes (and lack of space).
