Reading & Northern Railroad's coffee collab releasing limited edition brew

Reading & Northern Railroad partnered with Maxatawny-based Firehouse Coffee to produce a limited-edition '2102 Brew' for its new Iron Horse Coffee Company brand. The collaboration, which honors the railroad's steam locomotive #2102, was developed to provide a specialty roast for passengers and visitors.

Research disclosure — this profile was compiled from public online sources on 2026-10-06. This company overview is not a tasting review. Original tasting reviews are labeled separately when they exist. Ownership, roasting and sourcing details are attributed to documented sources. While the brand frequently references its connection to first responders and healthcare professionals, I could not verify any specific, ongoing charitable donation programs or financial commitments to first-responder organizations.
