Support the R&N steam program by purchasing a ticket!


We follow 425 as she makes her return trip from Jim Thorpe to Port Clinton on her first public passenger excursion since 1996.

(I paid for a ticket and rode the trip to Jim Thorpe, but decided to chase back.)

A big thanks goes out to Kyle Sanders for once again providing the navigation for the chase!

  • How did you ride the train, but get off-train shots, too? There was only one trip. BTW, I'm working on a Trainz 2004 recreation of the Lehigh Line from Penn Haven Jct.-Independence to Mehoopany with the DEM layout continuing to Waverly, NY but no track laid on it yet. It will join with Roon's R&N layout south of Penn Haven. That is, if his finished layout includes that segment of the Lehigh Line like the unfinished full version.

  • Woah woah woah.. That's a lot of questions dude.

    I rode one way to Jim Thorpe, and chased back with a freind of mine.

    Last time a steamer was in Jim Thorpe was May 10, 2008! LOL.

  • Neat stuff Joe. Love the angle in Nesquehoning. I guess you didn't get anything good on the train, eh?

  • I did, but only a few seconds worth. Would be hard to tie into this youtube clip without it sticking out like a sore thumb.

  • The last time 972 was under steam was in 1987, when she ran the P & R Special over the Ex.Reading Systems. I saw 972 go through Pottstown,PA. and Elverson,PA. that same year.
