Love how u start the video with a shot of the whistle.

@trainfann1 It's necessary for dynamic braking, additional horsepower, and protection power if needed.

trainfann1 , They have the diesel for help for 425. 425 is only a light 4-6-2 " 220,000 Lbs.and she needs the extra help to pull a 16 car train, radder you like it or not. I have seen 425 pull a 14 car train back in the early 1990's when Charlie Kachel was still around. But she also blew a cylinder packing too. which was fixed at Thorpe. The diesel is also used for braking.

JoMiFu, That's corrected Joe. Half way down around the curve there is a long run around track wich was used back when CP. 972 ran at Jim Thorpe back in the 1980's when Rail Tours Inc. was the rail service for the area. The track that their using is of the ex CNJ and at one time was a two track main with two sidings at the passenger station and three at the freight station that once stood up from the passenger station. It was razed in the early 1970's.

Great video Joe. Some major slippage there in Hometown adds some excitement. And she was unusually dirty compared to other trips, but hey that's fine, after all, they're supposed to be dirty, lol.

When the 425 pulls away from her train in Jim Thorpe and goes further down the line - where is it going?
bigjim4life 1 year ago
@bigjim4life - going down to Lehighton to do switching for the return trip.
JoMiFu 1 year ago
@JoMiFu Still a bit confused. Why Lehighton and what switching?
bigjim4life 1 year ago
@bigjim4life technically its not Lehighton, it's Packerton. They cut the steam engine off of the train so they can make room for the diesel to bring the consist down to Packerton, where there is ample space and sidings to move the first class private cars to the other end of the train.
