In this video that has been anticipated for months, Penn Rail Videos is proud to bring you our exclusive footage of the Reading & Northern's steam-powered Fall Foliage excursion. Featuring ex-GM&N Pacific #425 in the lead, this train was quite a sight to see! Well follow the locomotive (and its train) as it runs an excursion from Port Clinton to Jim Thorpe and return. But this time, there won't be a run to Haucks; we have exclusive footage of #425 being turned on the turntable in Jim Thorpe. Not only is the event exciting, but it's historic too! So come along, as take you trackside along the R&N, during the fall foliage season.

This is one of four different Reading 6 chime whistles that were on the 425 last year.

And this was the best of the 4!

Great video once again. Nice stack talk. I've gotta go out and see her run in person. What whistle was she carrying there?

[CSX6000]

Reading 6 chime!

Double Tracked once? Excellent video.

[CSX6000]

Yep!

At least your turntable stuff is better than what Public Enemy #1 shot.

Reading 6 chime? Finally a whistle that sounds RIGHT from my childhood. I assume this is what RDG 2124 had when she was in Iron Horse Ramble service? I know 2100 had the hooter freight whistle, don't know about 2102 in RDG ramble service or in it's many roles since (now of course 425's enginehouse mate). I don't think 2101 ever ran on the rambles, just AFT & Chessie Steam Specials.

I love the scene at the beginning of the railfan sprinting towards the tracks! 5*****

Dannnggg thats amazing! From what R&N website shows they will be doing this again in 2009. I think this time we'll have to hop aboard!

There are so many Reading 6-chimes in existence, yet none of them sound exactly the same. They all sound a little different.
