Reading and Northern QASD: The Shenandoah Shifter

On Sunday February 25th, 2024 I ventured to the anthracite coal region to chase two Reading and Northern freight trains with one of them being out of Tamaqua. QASD which runs from Tamaqua to Shenandoah and back serves many industries as well as the Gilberton coal mine in the town of Gilberton. The train also serves the Shenendoah runner which is an industrial track splitting off the M&S Branch which eventually continues west on to the connection with the Shamokin Valley Railroad at Mount Carmel. Today's train was powered by a pair of SD40-2's being 3055 and 3050.
