May 2026: This month we continue our exploration of the Reading Railroad East Penn Branch – Today’s Norfolk Southern “Reading Line” – between Fleetwood and Alburtis, Pennsylvania. Enjoy classic views of Reading Railroad freights with current-day Norfolk Southern trains, including many NS heritage units. We also railfan Hudson, New York, a scenic location with Amtrak Empire Service and CSX branch line grain trains with street running. All this and more in the May 2026 issue of Railpace Newsmagazine!
