Reading Blue Mountain and Northern Railroad


The Reading Blue Mountain and Northern Railroad (a.k.a. Reading and Northern Railroad) is a regional railroad operating in eastern Pennsylvania.
==History==
Originally known as the Blue Mountain and Reading Railroad, the Reading Blue Mountain and Northern Railroad was founded in 1983 to provide freight service on the former Pennsylvania Railroad Schuylkill Division between Hamburg and Temple, PA. Starting in 1985, the BM&R began operating passenger excursions over the line, and two steam locomotives, ex Gulf, Mobile and Northern Railroad 4-6-2 425, and Ex Reading Company T-1 4-8-4 2102. The BM&R also began operating 3 additional state owned lines.〔http://www.rbmnrr.com/history/〕 Additionally, the BM&R entered into a partnership with the Reading Company Technical and Historical Society who leased track space in Leesport, PA and in return leased two diesel locomotives and assorted passenger cars for use on the line.
In 1990, The Blue Mountain and Reading took ownership of 150 miles of track located in the Coal Region north of Reading. Shortly thereafter, the company was renamed Reading Blue Mountain and Northern and relocated its headquarters from Hamburg to Port Clinton, PA.〔http://www.rbmnrr.com/history/〕 Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, the RBMN acquired more lines in northeastern PA, primarily of Reading, Central Railroad of New Jersey, and Lehigh Valley heritage.
In the mid 1990s, the RBMN discontinued the regularly scheduled passenger operations between Hamburg and Temple and instead focused on occasional excursions throughout the rest of its system. The partnership between the RBMN and Reading Company Technical and Historical Society had more or less ended by this point, but the group still leased track space in Leesport until 2008 when they moved to the Hamburg yard and opened the Reading Railroad Heritage Museum.〔http://www.readingrailroadmuseum.org/rcthshistory.shtml〕
Despite the discontinuation of the Hamburg to Temple excursions, steam operations continued. In 1995, both of the RBMN's steam locomotives were present at the grand opening of Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton, PA, though only 425 was operational. The two would remain at Steamtown until 1997. Between 1998 and 2009, all steam operations were suspended.
In 2005, regularly scheduled passenger excursions resumed with the introduction of the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway in Jim Thorpe, PA.〔http://www.lgsry.com/history/〕
