Whether you want to view fall foliage or take a ride with Santa, the Reading Outer Station can provide these services plus more. The railroad station has opened a very convenient location in Muhlenberg Township so instead of making an hour's drive to catch a ride on the Reading Blue Mountain & Northern Railroad, we can get one right in our own town.

If you just want to enjoy a ride on a train, "The trains take the Reading and Northern mainline to Jim Thorpe, “The Switzerland of America”. You will have approximately 3 hours to explore the attractions in historic downtown Jim Thorpe. Also, you will be able to take a train ride into the Lehigh Gorge State Park on select Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway trains. " (visit link)

Tickets range in price from $9 a person to $32 a person depending on the trip that you wish to take.
