One of my coworkers took one of the R&N excursion trains (double-headed steam (The Iron Horse Rambles)) from Reading to Jim Thorpe and back last weekend. Loved it. A YouTube video taken during the trip can be found here....

The owner of the R&N is a big steam fan and has put millions into restoring a T-1 and a Pacific on their roster. They run diesel excursions in parts of the Lehigh Valley Gorge from Jim Thorpe, but during the summer offer these longer excursions from Reading. Real treat if you get a chance. Lots of Railfans along the route.
