2025 is the “YEAR OF STEAM” here at the Reading and Northern and our trips are bigger, better, and offer more services than ever before! ALL of our excursions will be headed by our legendary 2102 locomotive. And, because of significant public interest from last year, we have added to the list of stations of departure!
There has never been a better time to experience an iconic steam engine ride. Excited? We are too!

Additional Information & Direct Ticket Purchases
Please bring your e-mail confirmation with you day of train ride.
Your tickets will be ready for you to pick up at the station prior to boarding.
-
Reading and Northern only has 2 steam engines. We have no backup.
Everybody realizes that mechanical machines built by human beings can fail. Therefore, the railroad works very hard to make sure that we maintain our steam engines to the highest quality.
However, if something unforeseen happens beyond the railroad's control, these trips will be diesel.
Please understand this when you purchase a ticket.
