The recent visit of Union Pacificโs historic Big Boy No. 4014 to our region was a powerful reminder of just how much railroad history continues to capture the imagination. More than 111,000 people came to Northeastern Pennsylvania for this once-in-a-lifetime visit, demonstrating the tremendous economic and tourism potential of our regionโs history.
From the railroads and historic architecture of Jim Thorpe and Tamaqua to the coal-mining heritage of Lansford, the No.9 Coal Mine & Museum, Eckley Miners` Village Museum, and the Pioneer Tunnel Coal Mine & Steam Train in Ashland, our communities have an incredible story to share.
We also have the opportunity to experience that history firsthand through scenic excursions operated by Reading & Northern Railroad. These experiences allow visitors and residents alike to see our communities and historic landscapes from a completely different perspective. Add our scenic trails, outdoor recreation, museums, restaurants, shops, and other attractions, and it is easy to see why our region is such a special destination.
Check out Railfest, happening September 4-6 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

This monthโs Argall Report highlights ongoing revitalization efforts in Downtown Lehighton.
Recently, Rep. Doyle Heffley and I toured several businesses that received support through the boroughโs Faรงade Grant Program, which was made possible by a $250,000 state grant that we secured for the borough. 14 faรงade improvement projects along First Street and Stanley Hoffman Boulevard received funding. Upgrades included fresh paint, new windows, updated siding, new awnings, and more.
At a time when we are encouraging visitors to Carbon County to explore Jim Thorpe and the countyโs other towns, these grants made a big difference! The transformation is remarkableโespecially when you compare the buildingsโ before-and-after photos. Breathing new life into a community in this way brings new energy to the area for residents and visitors.
