Ride along with us as we travel on Budd Cars from the 1950s.  We’ll be traveling from Pottsville to Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, talking with passengers and crew, and exploring the history of the anthracite region.  Here’s your ticket, so climb aboard!

The Reading & Northern Railroad is a shortline based in eastern Pennsylvania.  Throughout the year, the railroad operates excursion trains using steam and diesel locomotives.  This year, they have restored two 1950s ‘Budd Cars’ to operation as a new method of conveying people around their network.
