  • Reading and Northern only has 2 steam engines. We have no backup.

    Everybody realizes that mechanical machines built by human beings can fail. Therefore, the railroad works very hard to make sure that we maintain our steam engines to the highest quality.

    However, if something unforeseen happens beyond the railroad's control, these trips will be diesel.

    Please understand this when you purchase a ticket.
