On the Lehigh Line they have to have extra help, the 425 is only a 110 ton locomotive it does have power but not pulling 13 coaches, it was only built to pull around 8 to 10 coaches and that was on a flat area. This locomotive is the only Gulf Mobile & Northern Steam locomotive left! it was built by Baldwin in 1928.

yeah i know but it seems they always have them with it even when its not needed ya know

[Conrail6370]

Well I see you didn't watch the Reading & Northern's 25th. Anniversary videos 425 pulled 8 coaches all by her self.

Check out my channel and you will see what I mean.

dang, i din't even recognize it at first. they moved the light and the bell. cool, but i like the way it looked before.

[EastPennProductions]

Yeah I liked it better when the head light was up high, but at least it's running.

[chikenpicken123]

where was it before?

[EastPennProductions]

on the top of the smoke box front, right in front of the smoke stack.

[chikenpicken123]

ha ha. no man, i'm not talkin about the bell, i'm talkin about the locomotive. where was it before it "returned?"

[pohldriver]

why did they move the bell and light? the best time to see the 425 is when it is overcast. back when they first painted it blue when i was a kid in shoemakersville on water st, they were headed south, and it just glowed. absolutly beautiful

[EastPennProductions]

It hasn't be operating for 13 years, the last time was in December of 1996. It's been stored in the Steam shops at Port Clinton, Pa. beside their Ex.Reading Company T-1 2102 4-8-4 which is OOS.
