The Reading, Blue Mountain and Northern Rail Road runs train rides along parts of the D&L and will load your bike on the train and take you up the line, drop you off and then you can ride your bike back to the starting point.
I have only ridden once between Weissport and JT, but I remember that dip. Could it have been spillway, like the one south of Easton? The crazy thing is that when I rode south from Easton after Ida flooding I was was worried about that spillway being inundated with water. Turned out, it was totally dry. Not even the gentle flow like normal.
Back in the spring of 2017 I did the Bike Train with three friends, including two who were casual riders. They very much enjoyed it. Not only do I ride, I work in the rail business.
