Reading and Northern 425 and 5018, Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania

Summer of 2020, Side by Side. Before the first trip on August 15, 2020, Reading and Northern Railroad fans were treated to a nice impromptu photo shoot. RBMN 425 (Baldwin, 4-6-2) was getting ready to run the Lehigh Gorge Scenic trips for the day, while former CSX SD50-2 5018 was on display to show off the new “Fast Freight” paint scheme in Jim Thorpe, PA. Announced as the idea of ownership, management, and employees, it represents a departure from the Reading Railroad yellow and green that clads the rest of its freight units. It would not be an understatement to say that these 2 engines dominated the Northeast Pennsylvania railroad scene for the season.
