Reading & Northern 425 - Autumn Leaf Excursions 2021 

I sure did miss these trains and I'm glad to see them back again.

Excellent video

This would be music to my dad's ears, as a retired engineer of the Reading RR.

These shots are amazing! It was a pleasure getting to meet you in Leesport on Sunday!

I’m an adopted son of my beautiful commonwealth. Love my Pennsylvania for so many reasons. This right here is a big reason.

Great preview as always.

Ah, a beautiful Pacific racing by with a string of varnish. Reminds me of my 1940's childhood, growing up in a village a short distance west of Milwaukee a half-block from the Milwaukee Road double-track main line between Milwaukee and the Twin Cities. Sure, the streamlined _Hiawathas_ and big freight engines, with mile-long freights, roared by (a mere 60MPH?), but there were a lot of lesser passenger trains and shorter freights, pulled by Pacifics and Mikados, as well as a peddler freight that serviced the town's industrial sidings. As I matured as a model railroader, I realized that if I ever decided to stop modelling turn of the (20th) century railroading and move into a more modern era, I'd prefer a road with Pacifics and Mikes pulling the more important trains, with Consols and Ten-wheelers on point of the lesser ones, with a little 0-6-0 or two shuffling in the yards. This just firms up that belief. Thanks.

Awesome video! Looking forward to 2102's return to steam.

In every shot, you can tell that the steamer is the one actually doing the work. Outstanding!!!

Just great, the video. The sound of steam and the drive through the beautiful landscape were simply wonderful.💖👍👍👍

Fantastic video! It was great seeing you out there!

Lovely footage. I see a couple cars from SLRG, Alamosa, CO.

Imagine 425 and 2102 doubleheading for a second time since 1987!

Just awesome 👏 full power on

you could tell she had a little bit of struggle in those slip ups, but she had it well moving afterwards

Nice!!

That's fantastic.

Starting out it sounded like he had down in the corner, working her hard!

How close is 2102 to being road worthy?

Like 13 beautiful video, greetings 🚂👍🙋‍♂️

Don't they normally run without diesels or is that due to ptc

Sadly, 425 Will Go Down For A FRA 15 Year Rebuild Or A 1472 Day Inspection After Her 2 Final Runs In November of 2022 Unless The FRA Will Allow 425 To Do Excursions In Late 2023 Or 2024.
