Once again, we return to Eastern Pennsylvania to experience the loudest locomotive operating today: Reading & Northern 4-6-2 #425. With a combination of in-cab footage and trackside runbys, 'Sound and Fury' chronicles 2 weekends of excursions during the fall of 2014.
This program starts on Saturday September 27th as #425 pulls a few short trips during the Schuylkill Haven Borough Day celebration. The next morning you'll see her in Duryea, getting ready to pull the 'Greater Pittston Charity Ride' over the mountain to Jim Thorpe. Operating over the former Lehigh Valley mainline, #425's booming exhaust sounds great at speed - complemented by a sweet sounding Jersey Central 3-chime whistle. With a camera mounted in the cab, you'll see the engineer at work on the climb to Solomon's Gap in the morning, plus a number of hard-working runbys in the afternoon.
On Saturday October 11th, #425 pulled the first of two Autumn Leaf Excursions from Port Clinton to Jim Thorpe. We'll cover |
