Riding the BM&R #2102 excursion from Temple to Jim Thorpe - I remember passing thru Allentown Yard (1:13), all the Conrail crews stopped to admire the train and wave. 7:21 at Jim Thorpe. 14:09 - abandoned shops.
This was the final off line excursion on Conrail before BM&R and Conrail pulled the plug. Now RBMN has their own track to get to Jim Thorpe through Tamaqua. Most of the Conrail track is now NS except for the track north of Reading which Andy Muller bought in Dec 1990. You can ride behind the 2102 from Reading to Jim Thorpe again, it first ran again last year and will be running again for several dates starting in July this year. The boarding in Reading is along Rt. 61.
