Sencillamente hermoso, gracias .

[KC0TLV]

Very good camera work and editing. Thanks for posting and sharing the videos of this magnificent old engine!

[WSOR10C]

I know this video is almost a year and a half old, But i have to say, this is still one of, not only my favorite 425 videos, but one of my favorite train videos on youtube period. IT is just a phenominal video!

[p61guy]

Wow!

[Shield1751]

Does anyone know when the 425 FIRST ran on the R&N? I mean after it was restored.........I think it was in the mid to late 90's...I really need to know the exact date...all I remember, it was a Saturday, and the Reading GP-30 was running around Leesport and Hamburg

[FatSeal45]

425 is awsome here

[boberttrain831]

This has to be one of my favorite 425 vids! Excellent work!

[TNtrainboy15]

Closest thing to mainline steam this side of the Mississippi

[railpast]

Great video. They must have a solid track maintenance program to run at the speeds they do. Must go there one day.

[Loco4Locomotives]

Great photography work. I love that whistle! That's quite lovely country as well.

[sfo1164]

Very well done! It was like watching a documentary!

[CGiordano464]

[MTechn1k]

This video is great. Awesome quality! My 22 month old LOVES watching it.

[NN2Blue]

Some stunning locations in this excellent compilation 5* - Thanks for sharing! - Mike

[ADMIRALSCORNER]

I have just found another of your videos which I enjoyed. I 'm very much looking forward to seeing more!

[befranklintoo]

WHO is the camera man?

[JoMiFu]

that would be me.

[befranklintoo]

it is good work. the films have a good eye for the motion

? is your hobby or profession,as I think it is professional work.

[DonCormack]

I'm sorry but they beat the piss out of that poor engine. There is no need to be in the corner within yard limits shoving a THREE car train with the throttle wide!

[acdc9902]

We are allowed to run 40 with a passenger train with a form D through the yard. The boss wants to go track speed we go track speed.

[DonCormack]

That's wonderful but irrelevant. 425 w/ 3 cars will achieve 40 mph WITHOUT the conditions specified above!

Excuse me, what do I know anyway? 40 years with the B&O means nothing probably. Sure hope 425 holds up!

Just a little FYI: That groan coming from the bent F. piston rod, might be considered a issue, but you guys are the experts because you've been operating steam forever right? No? Oh well, pardon me for mentioning it.

[acdc9902]

Well i guess running steam for over 20 years means nothing to you. The noise you hear is bad valve rings. Rumors get started thanks to people like you stating things that arent true. The Reading and Northern runs steam like it went ment to be run when they were built. Last time i checked a passenger train didnt leave the station at half throttle back in the day.

[jadebullet]

425 is still a tired old engine. Hence why you need to throw that SD50 onto its ass. (Fall Foliage run.) By the way, I cannot wait to see how nice the consist looks now that 426 is painted up nicely. (I loved watching that thing run freight service the other day in Tamaqua.)

[acdc9902]

The 425 is a light pacafic and was in no way designed to pull 14 coaches up the grades that it runs today.

[razgrizaceblaze259]

Well, R&N (when she was BM&R) #425 pulled a 15-car train (14 passenger coaches and 1 freight car) + an auxiliary tender all by herself from Hoboken to Port Jervis. Now, I don't if those grades are the same as the ones she tackles now, but it does prove that she can pull a 14-car train with no assistance. You can see this in "Blue Mountain & Reading #425 from Hoboken to Port Jervis (1986)" on dcoursey82's channel.

[acdc9902]

The grades on the R&N are much more then that in the video, plus there were a pair of helpers on those trips between Hoboken and PJ. The ferry move was made without helpers part of the way. It still does pretty good for size, and sounds great.
