When no paint is the paint. On April 22, 2017, The Lehigh Valley Chapter of the NRHS operated a charter over the Reading and Northern Railroad. Budd built RDC-1 9168 (ex-New York Central Railroad M499) has a nice head of "steam" going as it departs from the Port Clinton, PA headquarters station for a day full of fun for the passengers and photographers. The RBMN has a robust passenger program that, while impeded by the unfortunate events of 2020, brings a great deal of joy to railfans and preservationists while being largely supported by the freight traffic of the railroad and efforts of President Andy Muller and his mechanical staff.
Although most only provide freight service, regional railroads have passenger operations; not only executive trains but also charity events and excursions.
