Church Road - MM 106.0. The Reading & Northern's famous "Four-and-a-Quarter" hustles toward the rural crossing at Church Road in the tiny hamlet of Quakake, PA, under a threatening sky.
What a difference 24 hrs makes. Just one day ago, the air was frigid, there was snow on the ground and there was snow in the air. The passage of a warm front, accompanied by strong southerly winds and heavy downpours have all but done away with the snow, as our express charter makes its way south toward the 425's home in Port Clinton, PA.
Images from charters and regular operations depicting the Reading & Northern's two steam locomotives, the 4-8-4 Northern #2102 and the 4-6-2 Pacific #425.
