Viewing Album:  RBMN Valentine's Day excursion - Port Clinton to Jim Thorpe
 
By:Bob Krug
Dates:2/14/2015 - 2/14/2015
Album Info:I spent Valentine's Day with my "mistress" (i.e. the railroad). I had the presence of mind to take my wife out to a nice restaurant on Friday night because of my pending hot date with the high iron on Saturday. I did gallantly offer to bring my wife along but she took a rain check knowing how I'd likely spend four hours on the ground in Jim Thorpe on a cold winter's day.

RBMN 2532 and 2531

Description:  Newly-acquired GP-30s done up by RBMN in a very eye-catching Reading Company green livery. This was the pair's first public passenger excursion, and I predict they're going to become railfan favorites.
