On June 25, 2010 in the middle of the NRHS 2010 "Endless Mountain Rails" Convention there were no other excursions running, so it was a day to take in the glory of CP 2317 running the "Scranton Limited" excursions at the Steamtown National Historic Site, especially since her days were numbered prior to the 15-year rebuild. Watch CP 2317 move around the property and make scheduled runs on the excursion trains, as well as CN 3254 also on display at the turntable. The Reading FP7's were also in town, and I tried my best to move around and get different shots and angles on the site (though all of that walking around with equipment in that heat was not easy!)

On October 14, 2018 after the 425 excursion, Reading & Northern train JTEX departs Jim Thorpe with red GP39RNs 2534 & 2535 and 5 Cyro-Trans box cars. The red GPs are primarily used as power for the Lehigh Scenic Railway, but with the weekend coming to a close, the locomotives were swiped for this extra move to North Reading. Train and location information and video timestamps are listed below.

0:00 - Starting at Quakake, MP15DC 1543 idles away, to be picked up en route.
1:15 - While JTEX picked up the switcher, I relocated down the road to East Mahanoy Junction (EMX) to catch the train rounding the curve with the M&S branch in the foreground (Mahanoy & Shamokin).
1:50 - After making a pickup in Tamaqua, JTEX proceeds south at Millers Crossing in Molino, passing a field of soybeans at track speed.
Thanks for watching!")
