Reading & Northern: 425 During the 2013 Season

This video took us a little longer to produce due to a few technical and logistical issues. However, we feel the wait will be worth it. Penn Rail Videos proudly brings you our footage of the Reading & Northern's 4-6-2 Pacific #425 during the 2013 season. We know the 425 operated into the winter months, however, Penn Rail Videos was not able to capture this footage.

0:50 - Sept. 2nd, 2013 - We'll first view the 425 over Labor Day Weekend storming through the Lehigh Gorge.

02:01 - Sept. 28th, 2013 - Next up, the 425 is first double-heading with the Central Railroad of New Jersey 0-6-0 #113 in Schuylkill Haven, PA on its first "revenue" trip since being restored to operation. Video of the CNJ #113 in action will come at a later date. After coming into town with a grand entrance, we'll follow the 425 around as it powers the Schuylkill Haven Days excursion train down past Port Clinton and return. We'll even take an exhilarating ride on this trip!

11:45 - Oct. 13th, 2013 - It's like De Ja Vu! We've done this trip plenty of times in the past, so here we are following the 425 as it powers the annual Autumun Leaf excursion from Port Clinton to Jim Thorpe and return.

28:28 - Oct. 14th, 2013 - The following day, we captured some footage of the 425 on a photographer's special hosted by the Reading & Northern Railroad. We'll even see some exciting footage as we pace the big engine along PA Route 443. The pacing video was taken by a Samsung Galaxy cell phone!
