R&N #425 - Steam Returns to the Lehigh Line (Part 1)

www.readingnorthern.com
It's the first time in 50 some years since a steam locomotive has been to Tunkhannock. In part 1 of this 2-part video, we follow 425 southbound from Tunkhannock down the Reading & Northern's "Lehigh Line" to Jim Thorpe.

Watch part 2 for the northbound "return" trip from Jim Thorpe to Tunkhannock.

A big thanks goes out to Kyle Sanders for navigating the chase. Special thanks to Adam Christman for helping us find our way through Pittston!

why does this engine need two tenders?

[JoMiFu]

Distance. The engine uses a lot of water and the second tender, known as an 'auxiliary tender' carries additional water for long trips.
