Pennsylvania-based Reading & Northern Railroad plans to offer a series of mainline excursions with its Budd RDC cars between May and November.
The trips will operate between “Outer Station” along Route 61 north of Reading and Jim Thorpe with intermediate stops in Port Clinton and Tamaqua.
The first trip will be May 8 and the last is scheduled for Nov. 21.
Passengers will have a three-and-a-half hour layover in Jim Thorpe with the opportunity to ride the Lehigh Gorge Scenic during that time.
Trips depart Reading at 9 a.m. and return by 6:30 p.m.
Tickets are $39 per person if traveling the entire route or $24 if boarding at an intermediate station.
More information and ticket purchase information is available at www.rbmnrr-passenger.com
The R&N’s RDC fleet includes cars built between 1951 and 1958 for the Boston & Maine, New Haven, and New York Central.
