Steam & Excursion > BM&R 425 on Easter Bunny Express 34 years ago OTDDate: 04/19/21 07:17 BM&R 425 on Easter Bunny Express 34 years ago OTD Author: perklocal On 4/19/87 I headed over to the Blue Mountain & Reading to check out the BM&R 425 pulling their Easter Bunny Express between South Hamburg and Temple,PA. Top shot of the 425 side by side with BM&R 300 decorated and staffed appropriately for the event at South Hamburg,PA. Roster shot of the 425 which was originally built for the Gulf Mobile & Northern by Baldwin in 1928. Bottom shot just south of Hamburg coming into Five Locks,PA.
