- In 1986, BM&R (now Reading & Northern) #425 pulled an excursion from Hoboken, NJ to Port Jervis, NY. On this trip, she's wearing a Pennsy 3-chime, and she really sings and moans with it too!

I honestly can say that the 425 look a lot better when the headlight was mounted above the Smoke Box I think the idea was to make it look like a Pennsylvania Railroad engine it also sounds great with that Pennsylvania Railroad 3 chime
I think she looks good as she is at the moment.
Sounds like a LIRR G5
She could have the high mounted bulb again after her inspection
@@USSCFan148 Or How about in 2028 because in 2028 425 will have 100 years old
Wow, I lived in NJ in 1986 and knew nothing about this. Most likely because I wasn't a railfan at the time and wouldn't have known anyway from the usual railfan sources. Too bad, it looks like it was a fund trip!
Ten years later and things were different, I DID make a C&O 614 trip! What a ride!
425 should be a star in a movie!
It was the cause of power cutting when it hit an SUV in 2017
Kinda like how the NKP 587 got its own movie
Wow, something that would be awesome if it could happen again, but never will.. Great footage and thank you for sharing.
No matter where it is or how it looks, 425 always puts on a great show. Thanks for putting this up
There she is, the Glory of all
I grew up watching this video on RFTv. Sadly the channel doesn’t exist anymore in Florida. I’m trying to get the dvd of this video.
I wish I saw this train and engine in 1986 at the age of 12.
I LOVE THIS TRAIN!!!!
I remember when 425 was on the Morristown and Boonton lines and when he came through Dover. It was shortly after the new electrics had been put into service. The old MUs Andy Mueller bought were nicely painted and looked like new. I like 425 in black, too. I don't think BM&R had 2102 yet.
@ToonLink682 - The second tender is an auxiliary tender, made to increase her water capacity over long distances. More water means less time to stop and fill them up again.
I love this whistle on her! While I love the headlamp where it is currently (a'la Reading), this whistle is best!
The Funny Thing Is, During this time #425 Looked just Like Strasburg Railroad #90.
If you ask me she actually looks more like a PRR locomotive
@@amtrak1214 Honestly, what i'd like to see is for the Strasburg to relocate #90's headlight to the center of the smokebox & bell relocated to the top of the smokebox. so that way it looks just like how 425 looks currently. But I'd also love to see #90 return to Jim Thorpe & do some doubleheader trips with 425.
Great video. Great locations. I can smell the cinders.
Great shots! Cool to see her in black!
Couldn't have said it better, my friend.
first time I saw this train: Lots & Lots of Trains
I rode that trip expecting the 765 …
All I remember is a lot of rain at Port Jervis..🙁
She looks great in black, nice video.
Guys this was uploaded in 2009 and filmed 23 years ago.
DAMN, HOW STRONG IS THAT ENGINE!!?
Heard a crew say "Get a steam for a 5 mile trains diesels can take the locals" steam engines are much stronger then we think! I love Steams!
awesome. simply awesome.
If that consist were an autumn leaf on the RBMN main, she'd need a pusher alright!
Taken in October 1986
Really nice video
How did these trips happen? Didn't 2102 also run to Port Jervis as well? Wasn't 1986 the year there were no off-line excursions on Conrail with BM&R because there was an insurance crisis and Conrail wanted over $1 million in liability insurance? But this trip ran because it was run with NJ Transit, and they could ferry the train over Conrail from Temple to Hoboken because there were no passengers on board. I wonder if there's hope for steam again on this line and other lines in NJ, NY and eastern PA? Maybe the NKP 765 with NS? 765 ran this line in 1988 as well, and went to Temple, PA with public excursions. C&O 614 is stuffed and mounted in WV, CSX wouldn't let Ross Rowland use it on their tracks with his Greenbrier Express. So, 3 ex-NS diesels were going to be used instead, then it was going to be tacked at the end of an Amtrak train and dropped off at the resort. But the R&N, and NS are steam and passenger excursion friendly. 614 would have worked out on either of those railroads.
These were all specials (425, 765, 614, 2102) Were all seen on the trips
Didn’t any of those coaches get scrapped decades later or are they all rostered by reading northern
C&O 614 USED TO RUN BEETWEEN HOBOKEN AND PORT JERVIS ON NJ TRANSIT FROM 1996 TO 1998 WHEN HE WAS RETIRED IN 1999 BUT THERE IS A CHANCE THAT HE CAN BE RESTORED I THINK 425 MIGHT COME BACK TO NJ TRANSIT AGAIN IN THE FUTURE ALONG SIDE C&O 614 SOON...
GM&N 4-6-2 Pacific 425 was build on January 12, 1928 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Eddystone, Pennsylvania.
Why couldn’t they keep 425 in her original appearance?
Because they don't but hey she looks great today i just hope they can make it like she was in the 80s probably in 2028 to celebrate his 100 years old
Did you know that the BM&R coaches used to run in NJ for DL&W/EL and later Conrail and NJ Transit? BM&R bought them in 1984 from NJ Transit.
No diesel helper? Well, then, when it was crossing the tall bridge, what were those two red things behind the tool car? 2 DIESELS! They looked like Morristown & Erie units.
I wonder if she can have a repeat soon in the future? I know that the CSX didn't mean to kill it! But when can she do it again?
Where is the whistle that was on 425 right now?
Anyone know what happened to this road.
Just think 15 cars and no Diesel helper, those's were the days.
Len.
Yep she will be back this summer or fall. But definitely this year. Who knows if she will be back in black or blue... I'm hopeing black! But it's all up to Mr. Muller.
No he means that CSX has banned all steam live or not from their rails. That happened in 1995 or so. But NS has welcomed some steam back to their rails. However, the 425 is all friction bearing, plus most of the coaches, so would not be suitable anymore to run on class 1 railroads.
They should make 425 into a Blue Comet G3 mock up...
No please no. She's beautiful as she is now.
why does she have 2 tenders?
For extra water.
First one is her tender, the 2nd is a water tender.
How about a 90/425 doubleheader excursion between Hoboken and Port Jervis in thr future?
@trainmaster844 thank you for telling me
is that a PRR 3 Chime
SnakyFace Gaming Yes it is
@@dcoursey82 sounds like LIRR G5 39 and PRR K4 1361 together
Does anybody know where the whistle is right now? Should probably put it back on 425. Probably sounds a bit like LIRR G5 #39's whistle!
+brian falzon She wore it recently at the start of the 2015 season, when she met NKP 765 in Jim Thorpe, PA.
Zephyr4501 I see, well where is it right now?
brian falzon Most likely with the rest of the 425's whistles, probably in Port Clinton, or is currently being worn by the 425.
Zephyr4501 Hope it's not scrapped because it sounded beautiful!
brian falzon I'm sure it's still around. And, you're right. It is beautiful.
i heard its going back to black
She looks like strasburg 90
it aint suppost to have friction bearings for long
Look at my profile pic.
nice train but change the color ALREADY
