Reading & Northern

Each year, the Reading, Blue Mountain & Northern Railroad operates their annual Autumn Leaf Excursions between Reading and Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. These excursions are offered over the course of five weekends in October & November and provide passengers with a 60+ mile rail journey over former-Reading Railroad and Central Railroad of New Jersey trackage through Eastern Pennsylvania's spectacular fall colors. Skirting through pleasant countryside, negotiating tight curves, passing through a 900+ foot long tunnel, crossing a 168 foot high trestle, passing pristine lakes and ponds and negotiating tough grades over rugged mountains, these excursions are heavily popular with railfans and tourists alike. It is the second and third weekends of these trips however that bring in railfans and train lovers from all over the US and beyond, and for one primary reason. For these trips, the Reading & Northern brings out their strikingly beautiful Light Pacific #425, providing one of the most spectacular steam shows and some of the loudest stalk talk to be found anywhere. A gorgeous locomotive thundering through the stunning scenery of Eastern PA makes for a thrilling and dramatic experience. Shot over the course of Columbus Day Weekend, this trip was by far the most anticipated of the year for my friends and myself and #425 did not disappoint with its boisterous sound and melodious custom 3 chime whistle. The foliage was stunning as well! #425 was built by Baldwin in 1928 as one of two G-1 class Pacifics built for the Gulf, Mobile & Northern Railroad in Alabama. She later became #580 while in passenger service on the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroad and also served as Louisiana Eastern #4 after being sold to owner Paulson Spence in 1950. In 1962, she was acquired by Pennsylvania's Valley Forge Scenic Railway, where she regained her original back number back as #425. After spending time in storage at the Wilmington & Western Railroad in Delaware, she was bought by Andy Muller in 1983 and was put back in service hauling tourists on the Blue Mountain & Reading Railroad between Hamburg and Temple, PA where it operated alongside Reading T-1 4-8-4 #2102. With the acquisition of nearly 300 miles of track from Conrail, the Blue Mountain & Reading grew into and officially became known as the Reading, Blue Mountain & Northern Railroad in 1995. #425 operated many fan trips and steam excursions from 1986 until 1996 when a major rebuild was needed. Eleven years later in 2007, #425 returned to steam and remained in the notable blue paint scheme given to her in 1992. In 2015, she was repainted to her current blue, and the color combined her gorgeous appearance and shattering stack talk makes #425 a favorite among railfans and a must see locomotive for any steam enthusiast.
