    I Would Honestly Love To See My Local Class 2 Railroad Come To This Game I Think North Reading Yard PA To Tamaqua PA Would be a fair distance it’s about 30-40 miles. It Is Similar To The Current Clinchfeild Route But Has Higher Speeds Up In The 50-60 MPH Range. Trains Run Daily Symbols are NRFF7 North NRFF8 South, WCNR South NRWC North, WHFF2 South WHFF1 North And A Bunch Of As Needed Coal Trains Like MVNR,NRMV,QANR,NRQA And Also PNNR,NRPN Lite Power Moves And YJNR Lite Moves To Port Clinton On Saturdays. Mon-Fri/Sun YJNR Does Yard Switching At Northern Reading, Port Clinton Also Has A Yard Job YJPN (Daily) That Does Yard Switching And An Industry In Hamburg PA And Tamaqua Has A Yard Job YJQA (Daily) Occasionally Works Zenhers And/Or Index In Greenwood. Yard Jobs Usually Have SW-8’s Or MP15DC’s Or Both Or Geeps. Mainline Trains Often Run With SD40-2’s Or SD50’s Or SD50M’s Or SD50-2’s Even SD38-2’s On Occasion. Horns On The Reading Blue Mountain & Northern Varies Common Horns Are Nathan K3LA’s And Some Nathan P5’s And Nathan K5LA’s, A Nathan K5L, And Leslie RS3L’s And Leslie RS5T’s The King Of Train Horns. And The MP15DC Switches Have Nathan P3’s And Nathan K3LA’s. The SW-8 Horns Vary Some Have Nathan K3LA’s Heck One Has A Nathan M3. Oh I Almost Forgot To Mention They Do Excursions With 2 To 3 Budd RDC Cars. Each Budd Car Has 2 Horns. The Horns Are Leslie RS3L, Nathan P3, Another Nathan P3, Leslie A125 Single Chime, Leslie RS2M. And Another RS2M. They Also Have Steam Engines GM&O 425 & RDG 2102 (Currently Being Restored To Operating Condition Almost Finished And 425 Will Do It’s 1472 Inspection Next Year) They Run In The Fall On The Fall Foliage Trips. And They Do OCS Trains And Santa Trains With A EX NS F9A 270 And F7B 275. The F9A Has A Nathan K5LA.
