    This is a route proposal for The Reading Blue Mountain and Northern Railroad from Reading to Jim Thorpe Pennsylvania. Possibly a few miles of the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway just outside of Jim Thorpe. This is a route that could contain so much content. Additionally, Norfolk Southern has a couple trains on the timetable through here. The Reading and Northern Railway is a smaller Class II regional railroad, so they would certainly allow access to property and equipment for photos and audio.

    Here is some of the locomotive fleet of
    Reading And Northern 2102 Steam Locomotive and respective passenger coaches.

    SD50's

    Good suggestion and I live close to it in Easton, PA. If they want to extend it over the Delaware River all the way to Newark, NJ
