2018 Special Excursions Post Here

Well, I’d rather have 425 power the train than two modern diesels, oh well. I wonder when 425’s first runs will be and if there will be another railfan trip with 425 from Reading this year.

I sure hope the organizers are not the same ones that ran the RDC trip on the RBMN last spring. It was advertised as having photo stops and runbys but zero attempt was made at crowd control or setting up photo lines. I did bring it up with the organizer onboard the trip and his response was "There's nothing I can do about it" which is complete bull since he didn't even try asking everyone to establish a photo line. This was the second RBMN excursion I rode and both had botched photo stops/runbys.

*shakes head*.  Setting up and controlling a photo line so that everyone gets good photos is not rocket science...
