Remarks: For the second consecutive year, the United Way of Wyoming County Pennsylvania sponsered a trip over the Reading & Northern between Tunkhannock to Jim Thorpe and return, over the former Lehigh Valley Railroad mainline. The train was lead by none other than G-1 Pacific #425, and she was the star of the show! We'll watch the engine strut her stuff by running track speed most of the trip between Tunkhannock and Jim Thorpe, tackling the grade in Pittston and blasting out of White Haven Tunnel. All this and much more is seen in this exciting video, featuring everyone's favorite 1928-built blue 4-6-2, the 'four-and-a-quarter'.
