I've lost track of the recent debacle at Jim Thorpe, PA, where there was talk of scrapping cars and track, etc, etc.. What is the latest from there?

Bob, as of a few weeks ago, the Reading and Northern RR was still negotiating with the Lackawanna Chapter of the R&LHS regarding the one track that was owned by George Hart.

AFAIK, nothing has been scrapped, but some of the older equipment will most likely have to be moved sometime this year.

Howdy, The cabooses have been moved and are stored in the yard north of the Rt. 903 bridge. Roger

What has (or will) become of the Rail Tours equipment? Specifically wondering about the dozen or so Reading commuter coaches and CP #1098.
