Posted: Sun Dec 30, 2007 9:31 pm
Some very good news for the steam-starved Northeast.
Reading, Blue Mountain & Northern's Ex-GM&N (Gulf Mobile & Northern) 4-6-2 #425, also known as the "Four and a Quarter" has just come out of a 9 month overhaul and is currently being tested on the RBM&N system. This is the first time that 425 has operated in 11 years.
A video of a test run done on Saturday December 29, 2007 is available here.

Now that 425 has returned, you can bet some excursions will be in order for 2008.
