Earlier today I set out on another excursion, this time going generally northwest from my undisclosed location. I drove through an area of northeastern Pennsylvania where Mama and Papa Bigfoot both grew up, and which we visited frequently when I was a Littlefoot. To my surprise, as I drove through the city of Pittston, I came upon the Wilkes Barre/Scranton Regional Railroad Station, which is run by the Reading, Blue Mountain & Northern Railroad. The railroad offers passenger excursions, including one between Pittston and Jim Thorpe, which I visited yesterday. Here's the station's platform.
On another track are these two locomotives, with a residential section of Pittston in the background.
This locomotive was painted to celebrate the railroad's 40th anniversary, which was two years ago.
On still another track are this caboose and tank car. As you can read, the railroad's name is often shortened to "Reading & Northern" or represented by the acronym "RBMN".
Near the caboose and tank car is this line of locomotives.
After taking these shots, I jumped back into the Bigfootmobile and continued to my intended destination. Stay tuned.
