On July 3rd, 2023, I chased Reading and Northern Railroad's Pottsville Job, also known as PNPV for Port Clinton to Pottsville. This job services several industries within Schuylkill County, PA, including Kaytee Products, Reading and Northern Transload Facility, Hydro Extrusions in Cressona, PA, and Yuengling Brewery in Mount Carbon and St. Claire, PA. On the job I chased, I caught them servicing Kaytee and Yuengling Brewery.
What made this job more interesting was the motive power that was utilized, these being two switcher-type locomotives. Specifically, MP15 #1542 and SW8m #803, which is a former Lehigh Valley Railroad "Pup". Being deemed as switching locomotives, they are typically used within railyards or short local jobs, such as PNPV.
I hope that you enjoy this look at a local job on my favorite regional railroad!
