Historic run

For the first time in more than 30 years, the Blue Mountain, Reading & Northern Railroad’s two steam locomotives operated together on the front of an excursion train on Saturday, pulling 20 filled passenger cars. It was the first time since 1988 and the third of four scheduled Iron Horse Rambles. The doubleheader is shown passing through Tamaqua en route to Jim Thorpe, pulling 20 passenger cars. DONALD R.
