Tamaqua Locals and Fast Freight on the Reading & Northern! - 8/27/21

As a final big trip before school started, some friends and I went out to the Reading & Northern to check out the locals in the area and of course the NRFF. We started the day off in Tamaqua where we caught four trains, one being a loaded rail train with a duo of ex-UP SD50s! Shortly after SDQA came back, we went up to East Mahanoy Junction for the North Reading Fast Freight with all SD50s, and from there I began my chase which would then take of the rest of the day. Leading north was the 5018, which had recently been repainted from the red "Fast Freight Service" scheme to the black one to match 5019.

1. RBMN QAJT (Tamaqua, PA - Jim Thorpe, PA)
EMD SD38 2004
2. RBMN QASD (Tamaqua, PA - Shenandoah, PA)
EMD SD40-2 3055
