#425 steams up once again with a whole new look, including a new bell, a centered headlight and new number plate - not to mention glossy coat of bright blue paint!

The engine performs a final test run with a private train before hauling excursions later in June.

Special Thanks goes out to Kyle Sanders for helping me chase this train. I would have been lost otherwise!

Also, pardon any lapse in quality with this video. The framerate is not quite what it should be, so it may appear a bit jumpy.

  • "you can ride this train blah blah." .really?

  • @pennyf9 It reminds me of the Blue Comet too! :)

  • kinda reminds me of the Blue comet that used to run on the Jersey Central.

  • I would like if the healight was mounted on top of the smokebox and the bell where it used to be on the boiler. I like the blue paint though! That 6 chime sounds real good, or is it a 5 chime? I don't remember.

  • This was awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed every second of watching this. I get emotional at times over beautiful things. And this has literally brought tears to my eyes. Whoever is responsible for the upkeep and the keeping of this engine running, I thank you. And the videographer, what an outstanding job.

  • Love the color of the train!! Beautiful blue!

  • (Looks)

    That Thing At Strasburg Would Be Epic.

  • Great video Joe, and also a great whistle. However, I still say the B&M "grower" whistle sounds much better.

  • I have watched many steam train videos and this is, by far, one of the very best! The audio and video are of superior quality. Nicely done, my friend! :o)
