Eastern Railroad Discussion > R&N.......Jim Thorpe bridge

When the bridge is complete, what will be the new operating pattern?

I'm thingking that NRFF (North Reading to Jim Thorpe Fast Freight) and PIFF (Pitston to Jim Thorpe Fast Freight) will run as a combined train from North Reading all the way to Pittston via the new bridge. And it goes without saying passenger excursions willbe using it as soon as April 18th. It will be interesting to watch! Traffic was up again last year in both passenger and freight. It will undoubtly do better after the bridge opens.
