Since it was purchased in 2022, the R&amp;N has stationed its Maintenance of Way, Signals, Real Estate, and Passenger Departments on the site and it soon plans to establish a locomotive shop there. It will be the first time in over 75 years that locomotives will be maintained and repaired in Carbon County.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The railroad is also looking at building a passenger station on the site and running excursions out of Nesquehoning. Two such excursions behind Reading Company 4-8-4 2102 are scheduled for June 22 and August 17.
