Steam & Excursion > 425 Ed K. Screw's Up!

Set out to chase the R&N 425 N. Reading to Jim Thorpe, all went well till I got to Lake Dr. on the line to Jim Thorpe, I thought I was ahead of it as I last shot it on the Lincoln St. Bridge.That track to JT used to be 10 mph, anyway not knowing the 425 had passed this location never saw her again. The R&N must have upgraded that line.

First three shots at N. Reading.

After sitting over a hour waiting for 425 at Industrial Ave. Nesquehoning, I caught the High Bridge Train, not wanting to deal with the unbelievable amount of traffic in Jim Thorpe, I left for home.

Open car right behind the engine. Hope they like cinders!

Those are great photos, Ed! You did another
excellent photo essay. And thanks so much
for including PEOPLE in them, as it is us
PEOPLE who these trains are run for, and
it is PEOPLE who run and maintain and
repair these trains. Thank you for that.

But when I read your thread title, I thougt
that the crew -- the engine crew or those who
advertised her excursions and sold the tickets --
of the 425 had somehow in some way screwed up.
Would you please be so kind as to change the
title of this thread to show that no one
involved with the 425 screwed anything up?
Thanks so much!

So was the 2531 the second section or did they have the green lights on for fun?

Nothing screwed up with those photos, Ed. Thanks for publishing them.

Part of the huge traffic in Jim Thorpe this Sunday, was because the southbound RT 476 was closed for 20 miles for repair.

Sorry Ed! Track speed was raised to 30 mph for passenger trains between the Hometown Viaduct and Nesquehoning.

We set them to green to see how many complaints we can get. LOL!
