On RBMN Rambles 2102 pulls locomotive end (not tender) first both ways, the RMBN has the capability to turn the locomotive for the return trip.

If I remember correctly, and it should be easy to check, there is the equivalent of a wye over the river near Jim Thorpe (I still think it would be better as Mauch Chunk…)

Jim Thorpe is one of the most picturesque small towns that I’ve ever seen. Asa Packer of LVRR fame’s mansion is on the hill overlooking the town. Andy Muller has his own 12in:1ft model railroad.

There is also a 100’ turntable at Jim Thorpe, and a 75’ TT at Port Clinton.
