The Double Header Rambles with Reading and Northern 2102 and 425

It was the railroad event of the year, and I've never experienced a chase like it. Tamaqua caused a 20 minute delay due to the sheer volume of chasers, which caused me to not catch the train again until nearly Jim Thorpe. After a rough morning, I learned that 3 spots was about the best you could hope for, and my afternoon went much smoother, after the chaos that is Jim Thorpe of course. Aside from what a mess the roads and Jim Thorpe were, the Reading and Northern put on a great show and made for a fun day for thousands of people. The railroad had already sold out tickets for this excursion before it was announced that it would be a double header, so the railroad only did this for fun and because they can. Thanks to the R&N for putting this together when they did not have to. Perhaps we will see another double header in the fall, who knows?
