  • Reading, Blue Mountain & Northern 4-6-2 425 operates over the R&N system on the Fall Foliage trips out of Reading and Port Clinton, PA as well as the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway out of Jim Thorpe.
    This blue Pacific has operated since the 1980s on the former Lehigh Valley and Reading lines of the Reading, Blue Mountain & Northern. Watch the 4-6-2 roar by, start its train with thunderous stack talk, and ride in the open air car behind the “Four and a quarter.”

    I’m glad I finally got to see 425 on the Iron Horse Rambles doubleheader this year. Hopefully I’ll be able to see her again someday whenever she’s done with her FRA inspection.

      What is it with you and doubleheaders?

      Are you actually going to ride these doubleheaders or are you just going to keep posting your annoying comments?

    Sure gonna miss this pacific once it goes out of service at the end of 2022. 425 has since become one of my fav Pacifics in the last 4 years and I do hope R&N plan to rebuild her once her flue time is up.

      From what I heard though, her 1472/15 year rebuild shouldn't take as long as 2102s. It will most likely be 2-3 years after this year to get her back to fresh condition.

      Depends on how good 425’s condition is once it’s taken apart

      The 1472 shouldn’t take too terribly long. I know 425 recently got a new stack and some smokebox work done, so that is at least out of the way. I would imagine that the running gear and firebox will probably be the major focus of the work.

      Yep and then she’ll be out of service and due for her next rebuild. I hope they plan on giving her that rebuild 🤞

    Any plans for more videos of the Durango & Silverton in Durango Colorado? It’s a restored portion of one of the narrow gauge D&RGW lines that runs between the town of Durango and the former mining town Silverton, and back again. It is mainly used for tourist operations, and has 6 operational steam engines and 5 operational diesels, those being:
    Former D&RGW K-28 #473, a 2-8-2 “Mikado” with a custom built D&RGW 3 Chime. (My favorite D&S engine).
    Former D&RGW K-28 #476, a 2-8-2 “Mikado” equipped with a Lukheimer 3 Chime (i believe).
    Former D&RGW K-36 #480, a 2-8-2 “Mikado” wearing a Baldwin 3 Chime.
    Former D&RGW K-36 #481, a 2-8-2 “Mikado” with a Great Northern 5 Chime, and the only coal burner.
    Former D&RGW K-36 #482, a 2-8-2 “Mikado” with a PRR 3 Chime (i believe).
    Former D&RGW K-37 #493, a 2-8-2 “Mikado” with a PRR 3 Chime (i believe).
    Former WP&Y DL535 #101, not sure of the horn.
    Former WP&Y DL535 #103, with a Nathan P3
    Former WP&Y DL535 #107, not sure of the horn.
    Former GLRR Diesel #1203, Nathan P3 (i believe.)
    Not much is know about this other center cab diesel that is used for shunting.

    I recognize the Reading 6 chime, but what other whistle was 425 wearing while operating in the gorge?
