Video

At the beginning of the video - one whistle blast signifies brakes applied for an intermediate test, two signified brakes released. Anytime you add/remove cars or locos or "change ends" on a main line you gotta do that test.

Vosburg Tunnel is just beyond Tunkhannock about a mile. R&N had the Vosburg Flyer through the tunnel several years ago. Just beyond the tunnel is the current end of RBMN ownership, with the rest of the line to NY state owned by NS and leased to Lehigh Railway as far as Athens, PA below Sayre. RBMN did own a 4 mile branch from Towanda to a feed mill that once went farther under the LV RR but I think it is unused now. There is a small crossing paved over in Towanda near the train stations on Google Street View and the rest of the line looks grown over.

Good morning Jamie. Thank you for the tour. I really enjoy seeing some of the older structures along the tracks. Everyone looks like they're having a good time. I know you did! Please stay well friend and thank you again for this awesome series. 34:30

thats an abandoned turntable and engine house back there in the yard was in there a few times

6:10 former LV signal mast hiding in the trees. Hopefully R&N can repurpose it

great video! was considering buying tickets but chose august instead since i couldn't make it. will they just wye 2102 in pittston on the next trip or the whole train? looking forward to it!

Fantastic video as always. Thank you. I hope they run this next year, I am defiantly on board. Just got my tickets for the Aug. Ramble to the Tomato fest.

Awesome video Jamie

Love to see a coal burner still the best

Gotta love the mini that thing is crazy!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Researching friend 💙🌎💚

Good morning Jamie. This is to much fun riding along with you. I've always thought that being a conductor would be fun.... then I think about those brutally hot and cold days. Has to be a tough job. Hoping to see a shot of the old LV roundhouse in the next video. Have a wonderful day.

Thank you for this video Jamie. All new track to me. I look forward to video #3 to Tunkhannock! 🙂

Those f units need tlc!

14:30 those houses also have the NS ex D&H line on the far side. 14:47.. wow that is kinda sad. The connection to the NS/D&H at Dupont. Its getting TREES overgrowing it..

18 sold out cars plus the generator, that equals a consist of 100 years ago, during the glory days of the pullman cars!

While it was necessary to have the Fast Freight Twins for dynamic braking purposes, i did notice that they put out almost as much smoke as 2102!

Another great video nice job Jamie/

Awesome video Jamie

Adding diesels for dynamic braking?, yes!, absolutely❗I still like the Reading Hooter better than the 6-chime! Not getting toooo far off the track, but, i ordered a quantity of Herrs chips for an upcoming July 4th party❗

How nice that you can work full time at a job you love. That's the best!

Good morning Jamie. So this is a serious question. Is the modern era always what is current or is it a specific era of time? If that makes sense. Looks like you had a wonderful day. Lots of interesting angles as well. I hope you're doing well friend. Thank you for all that you do.

They should paint a different style paint job that the reading had like bee line type

🙃

Woo hoo 👍🇺🇸👍

Woo hoo 👍🇺🇸👍

Woo hoo! 👍🇺🇸👍

Maybe the R&N could possibly build a new regional railroad station in Tunkhannock one day!

Iron horse? More like an iron dragon.

Thank you Jamie!!! I'm looking forward to parts 2-6.

I am the kid in the blue shirt with the earphones on at White Haven at 32:50. This was my Dad and I's first ever chase of 2102, and I had a blast chasing the excursion. You guys have such an incredible operation, and I hope we will be able to return to chase 2102 again next year.

Your vids rock. Any inf on 2102 doing fall excursions from Nesquehoning

Awesome video Jamie

Where did they get the buildings? If it's a 3d file, is it possible to share?

WoW!! Outstanding Jaime! Looks like everyone was so excited to be on that trip. And I can't believe all the people who pulled over along the way to watch & wave. Can't wait for the next one. Well done!! 🚂🚃🚃🚃

Well done Jamie.

Sunrise over the new Nesquehoning station. Arlo Guthrie's City of New Orleans playing in the background. 2102 in all her glory - you captured so many wonderful shots! It's Joe from Binghamton Jamie. Not only are your videos so entertaining but they're also extremely informative. Also how cool that you were seated right behind Russ as he was narrating - with the Price is Right style microphone! The icing on the cake was discovering that my 2024 Iron Horse Rambles t-shirt, that I picked up in JT during my Ramble layover on Memorial Day weekend, was designed by you! Knowing that will make wearing it all the more special now!

awesome video jamie, im very impressed with the inside scoop you did on the new Nesquehoning facility, very clean, very professional. now question for this first new trip, were people allowed to park on railroad campus property or were people left on their own to find a parking spot nearby or across the tracks? and i saw boarding definitely was at the new station. im just trying to understand how this works now so if you guys offer this same steam trip again, i will have a better understanding of this area. keep the videos coming 😁

Fantastic Film Jamie I shot the Doubleheader at that famous spot

Ive had a couple of major medical setbacks within a months time, and videos like yours and others are about the only way i can get out and enjoy the Rambles and other steam events. Is there any way i could get a nice shirt or few through mail order, etc🤔❔

This was great for so many reasons. We got a great look at the new station, the little store, the train pulling in and so much more. I felt like I was riding on there with you and everyone else and can't wait to see the rest of this series. I also immediately thought of Bob Barker as soon as I saw his microphone. Thanks for putting this together.

Great video, Jamie! My friends and I certainly certainly enjoyed going on this Ramble. Didn't see a single unhappy passenger on board. Saw a lot of old faces and made some new friends as well. So glad the company decided to run this route. The Lehigh Division has always been a favorite of mine. Thinking of purchasing another ticket for the Pittston run in August!

Nice video Jamie! I'm surprised that many people were able to get good videos that day because of how many people there were out there, but its going to take forever for everyone to find the great shots on the Lehigh Division lol. I also heard the A/C wasn't working on some of the cars, but im glad everyone still had a fantastic day!

What is the general grade through the gorge? Is it uphill to White Haven? I have a Reading and Northern route in Trainz Railroad Simulator (I'm using Trainz 2019 and have Trainz A New Era and Trainz 22) but the original creator only made the map data for the southern part of the system from Hamburg north and only the main line is done as far as north of Old Penn Haven so I added DEM map data to go beyond Tunkhannock. I have the 2102 and coaches in Trainz as well from K&L Trainz. I have track on my added map data maybe halfway to White Haven done so far, past the curved tunnel. I wanted to get the gradients as close as possible.

thanks for this post . i will be looking forward to see more of this.

Hello Jamie! Thanks for posting your video. The 2102 and her train look fantastic! Take care.

It Happeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeend! The ramble we have all been waiting for! If this is just the first part jamie, then shoot its already great! cant wait for the other parts! Great video jamie! scott

Awesome to see one of the original Lackawanna MU cars having new coat of paint. They've been neglected far too long, great to see theyre getting some love now.
