Reading & Northern 425: Final Foliage Flyer

On November 5th, 2022, myself and a good friend of mine, Matt, headed up to the Reading & Northern Railroad to see their amazing steam locomotive #425, which for the day was equipped with a Central Railroad of New Jersey 3-chime whistle. With the #425's 1472 rebuild approaching rapidly, most of us thought that her time was up. Just after the locomotive stopped at Port Clinton, the R&N announced it would be powering Christmas excursions as well. (Which I will defintley have a video on!!) EMD SD50s #5019 and #5018 also were along for the ride that day, giving 425 a helping-hand where needed. Overall, this day was amazing. We got a handful of really nice shots that I believe you all will enjoy. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy twenty-one minutes of the Reading & Northern 425's final (for a while) autumn leaf excursion.

A very special thank you to Greg (‪@ThePennsylvaniaRailfan‬) for providing the Nesquehoning Tunnel shot when my camera failed, and Matt (‪@pennsyrailfan4995‬) for providing the going-away shot of the SD50s at the end of the video.
