Summer is nearing its end in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley, and after months of hurdles and obstacles, the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway is back in action. To mark the return to operation, the Reading, Blue Mountain & Northern Railroad sent their iconic ex- Gulf, Mobile & Northern Baldwin-built 4-6-2 "Pacific" #425 north to Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania to haul multiple weekends of excursions through the Lehigh Gorge up to Old Penn Haven along the Lehigh River. Jim Thorpe, formerly known as Mauch Chunk, is seeing bustle once again, after months of the Coronavirus keeping businesses closed and travelers home, with uncertainty of an end. Thankfully, the trains that draw tourists to the old railroad town have returned, and passengers awaited their chance to ride behind the 425. Now, please enjoy this exciting video brought to you by Blue Comet Productions!
This video was filmed on September 5th, 6th and 7th, 2020.
Whistles were a B&O 3 chime on the 5th, Southern Long Bell 3 on the 6th, and Star Brass 3 on the 7th.
