Reading & Northern Railroad’s newly restored light Pacific No. 425 powered an excursion over former Reading and Central Railroad of New Jersey lines between Port Clinton and Jim Thorpe, PA on October 11, 2008. The trip was an early sellout, with over 600 passengers riding. After being out of service since 1996, R&N shop forces overhauled the 4-6-2 at their Port Clinton, PA facility during 2007. The 425 was built by Baldwin in 1928 for the Gulf, Mobile & Northern RR, and was purchased by the Reading & Northern in 1984. Looking sharp in its fresh blue paint, the 425 made a fine sight as it worked upgrade through colorful fall foliage at Zehners, PA on the former Reading Railroad east of Port Clinton.
