Stay at Bischoff Inn and make Tamaqua your home base for exploring one of Pennsylvania’s most fascinating railroad regions. From the historic station just a short walk from the Inn, you can board a scenic Reading Blue Mountain & Northern excursion to Jim Thorpe, admire active rail lines and preserved railroad architecture, ride vintage coaches through the Lehigh Gorge, and experience the underground mine railway at the No. 9 Coal Mine and Museum. After a full day of trains, tunnels, bridges, coal region history, and mountain scenery, return to the comfort, character, and quiet of the Inn. It’s perfectly positioned for railfans who want to explore the region without changing hotels every night.
