PORT CLINTON, Pa. — Mileage from four of the railroads which helped form today’s Reading & Northern were featured on a Saturday, April 23, excursion by R&N Rail Diesel Car.
Trackage from the Reading Co., Central of New Jersey, Lehigh Valley Railroad, and Lehigh & New England were included in the fundraiser for the Railroad Historians of The Lehigh Valley and the Lehigh Valley Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. It was the first Reading & Northern excursion to visit the Lehigh & New England trackage, and the first to visit Lehighton on the former Lehigh Valley.
The excursion, a sell-out, featured a number of photo stops and runbys.
