It's big, it's bad, and it's... BLUE! It's RBM&N's reciently restored 4-6-2 Pacific, #425, and she's back and better than ever. Painted in a classy blue and gold paint scheme, the engine is certainly an eye-grabber, as it races down the R&N main. We'll watch as the crew cleans the locomotive and prepares the 425 for its journey, and then, we'll take you trackside, to witness this historic event. So come along, as we follow the 'Four-and-a-Quarter' to Jim Thorpe.
Although I have aged many years since my elementary school days, watching this video regularly hasn't stopped.

I'm remember watching a long time ago. Lots of videos I used to watch when I was little.
14 years later and this video is still so amazing. That whistle is so beautiful. Especially when it echoes through the Pennsylvania mountains. I wish they would paint it back into that bright blue paint. What a beautiful locomotive and video.
This is still my favorite video of 425. I remember watching it when I was a young railfan lol
Same
Same I would come home from School and only watch videos about trains
Me tooo
Me too
Me too
The man is blowing the whistle I know he’s having fun!
That is the single best whistle I have ever heard on the single best locomotive I have ever seen with the single best sounding bell.
I remember seeing this video years ago. It's a classic.
4:27 The Reading 6 Chime is the most beautiful sound I've ever heard
That whistle is my all-time favourite out of all whistles. It's just so powerful and mysterious, I frickin love it!
Beautiful engine, and to my ears, the best sounding whistle I can recall hearing. The Reading, Pennsylvania, and Lehigh Valley Railroads all ran lines through the towns, farmlands, and woods around where I grew up just north of Reading, where the Reading and Northern runs today. I was lucky enough to get to see steam trains on regular runs almost daily as a boy, and I miss them. I was pleasantly surprised by this engine one day a few years ago, when it was running on a track next to a highway I was traveling in northern Berks county. Like the videographer in this video, I paced her while she was on a straightaway there, and loved every minute of it.
She makes me foam every time I hear that whistle and see her. She’s still running strong.
@Aiden Andrews She’s still running like she was brand new
This train is beautiful!!! I love the color too!
thank you
I love this engine the bell and the whistle
SnakyFace Gaming whistle changes run to run. it’s color has also been changed
Nice Southern Pacific 2472
Superb video! Thank you so much for sharing it. I just love steam locomotives. I even get the smells around the trains in my nose as if I was standing nearby. What memories of youth they bring!!! Take care and if you continue to upload steam locomotives or related to them, please be sure to send me. Keep up your excellent work. I see you are a real train fan. So am I. Have always been fascinated by them. Take care!
This is a pretty good video of Reading & Northern 425. I remember watching this video back when I was young.
I remember watching this for the first time back in elementary school. So nostalgic!
after 3 weeks
im still commenting. i cant forget this train its just so nostalgic and the whistle is so amazing
All these years later, and it’s still my favorite engine.
This right here is the first footage and the first time I’ve ever seen or heard this locomotive. This video led to my love of this engine, as it is currently my all time favorite. Penn, I’m happy to say you’ve brung this joy to me.
Love the blue paint job, a lovely locomotive and good camera work. Thanks for sharing
Bless your heart. I know how you feel. I grew up watching steam locomotives in action with my late father. They were all gone by the time I was ten. Now, my father is gone as well.
I was just scrolling through my channel because I was bored, then I saw this, when I was young, I was OBSESSED with trains
God, I just love how the whistle screams. It’s so powerful.
The GG1 IS MY FAVORITE DESIL ENGINE !!! Getting down in full power mode ,on a grade !!! Listen to its power at work !!! 😁😁
I would really love to see this running that fast again like one of the shots you had. Nothing beats high speed steam.
Thank you for posting this! My daughter watches this ALL the time!! she LOVES choo choos!!
do u mean "The Machine Of Steam"?
Very cool to see the old girl running again, if only for a little while. Definitely a thing of beauty watching her come alive.
It is Big & Blue, & Thank you for the ride !
the echo in the woods is awesome
Yes !! That's what I was feeling too !!
My boys LOVE these steam train videos. Nice work! What a bygone era...
This steam engine train brings history very alive! I like it very much!!
I spent forever looking for this video
the best part starts at 4:27 ... amazing! absolutely amazing. beautiful machine.
4:27
It’s 2019/2020 and I’m turning 18 soon and every time I watch this it brings back so many memories from being a little boy. I would always show this video to my parents.
I turned 12 now I used to watch this when I was 6
Thank you so so much for this wonderful video. Those beautiful, wailing, soulful whistles bring back an incredibly wonderful era in my life as a little guy living in Annandale, Virginia in the 40s and in North Carolina in the 50s. Back then, I never dreamed we'd lose the beauties into history. Thanks, again, for capturing these beautiful sights and sounds for the rest of us. Semper Fi, y'all

4-6-2 in all its glory.....love the quill of the whistle!
On the GM&N it was a G-1 class. It has retained it's G-1 class status throughout its lifetime, as far as I know.
Ye
My god that whistle gives me goosebumps.
She still haves it today 😂
I usually don’t like super high pitched whistles, but the reading 6 chime is one exception.
The engine its blue i like it
The blue is my favorite color
Deklan's Gamer same
the color of it has been darkened.
I love Blue💙💙💙
Rosie hood girl 42 fuck ofof

Very nice video what a beautiful engine love the haunting whistle. Cheers
I had the pleasure of being hauled by this locomotive in august 2020.....Jim Thorpe PA.
Excellent, love the pacing!
Damn, how could anyone dislike this beautiful piece of history?!
Great stuff. And that beautiful mournful whistle! I didn't know you could play tunes on a steam whistle...
Holy Democracy! I can't say enough good things about this train, or this clip!
Good Job, Bear!
4:28
Awesome! The best locomotive in history! She was built in the 1928!
I can only say one word: Magnificent !! ! ! ! !!! ! !*********** ! !!! ******** !! Great goin' all ya !! Boy this is some serious example of RR beauty !! Great camera and sound quality, too !! Just Magnificent !!.... Much thanks, Mark
I think this has one of my favorite whistles on an engine, probably right behind the 765's whistle.
I like the whistle from 425 best, but that's just my opinion.
Excellent video!
Very beautiful engine well filmed. Thanks for uploading and thumbs up! :)
Great video with a good variety of camera angles showing this iron lady at her best. Thanks for posting.
God I love that haunting sound of a steam locomotive's whistle echoing over the hills.
I remember watching this when I was 4
I was 6 whrn i watched this
This was one of my favorite typse of vids when i was super young and i found it again so thank you so much for making this video broooo ;-)
That's a Reading 6 Chime whistle!
I like the 6 chime whistle it's my favorite whistle And i like to have my train in my life i speak spanish a little but im in Argentina. But my life has oil trains but in my life Steam trains dont work because idk what they have done with my trains.
They change it all the time
thank you!
He's lovin' those draincocks!!
Great video! Glad its back up! And nice special blue PRV logo
That is one beautiful 4-6-2.
Nothing like hearing the whistle of a steam locomotive in the distance.
Fabulous videography! Well done, sir.
This is such a cool video! I imagine it must be a huge challenge keeping these locomotives running.
Thanks for posting vid !
What an angry beast of a machine.....So many moving parts.
Omg I’ve been here!!
It reminds me of the blue comet
Last time I saw this engine in person ISTR that she was all no-nonsense flat black except for number and lettering. I like this new livery. It is very classy. Great video. Thanks.
Love it!!! Superb production!!!
LOVE the sound of the whistle echoing in the surrounding hills.o other sound like it.
Great looking Baldwin Steamer. That young boy doesn't know his hand signals very well. Wonderful memories.
This is truly a handsome machine !! My only regrets is I wish I was alive when these machines were brand new !!! Love the past & hate today's ugly ass world !!! Ps. My father & grandfather were workers on the P.R.R. , from steam to desil , 1910 to 1994 !! Grandpa born 1892 !!
@themrjeffs Thank you!
this takes me back to my childhood. riding on the New Hope Express (i think cant quite remember the name) such beautiful machines these are, its a real shame the railroads switched to deasle
Me love dis engine... blue also me favorite color
425 is my favorite engine.
This entire thing has been reworked.
@@deaderthandead1182 Yes, I know.
Observations:
1.) I don't know if the constant bell-ringing is a Pennsylvania-only thing, but living less than 100 yards from a heavily trafficked grade crossing, I can tell you that it's ubiquitous in modern freight.
2.) That Reading 6-chime makes this blue meanie sound like it's at least five times more intimidating than it actually is.
3.) That secondary "billboard" tender is tacky as all hell, but so is most of NEPA.
4.) I fucking love 425 and I can't wait until 2102 joins it on the main line. I rode that beast as a kid and I'll kill to ride it again.
Never tire of the Six Chime!
I remember watching this video years ago when I was a child
I just realised blue is a rather fancy color for steam locos. Looks good.
ziiofswe he's a handsome engine isn't he?
RRIA AMERICA ิๅิิิ
i cryed so much during this vid i dont know why i just like seeing this train :) plz what ever you DO NOT RETIRE HER YET!
Nice catch!
Love the blue. Color is much better than just black.
That's the blue comet
It's not the blue comet.
Abraham's Unboxings and Trains ok calm down
It's the automatic drain valve on the diesel in the background. This valve is mounted under the first main air reservoir tank (there are two in series). Once the air is compressed, the moisture precipitates out of it. This valve senses the collected water and "spits" it out.
This is a great video, thanks so much for the work you put into it! The whistle beginning at 8:25 is so haunting...
one of the best train videos
they really were putting that engine through its paces, even after all the years its had, its kinda rare to see a video of a steam loco actually moving at a decent speed
The most best , is big boy rolling full steam ahead !! The horn layed on heavy ahead of crossings !!! Get the hell outa my way !!! Or else !!! 😁👍🇺🇲✝️
this has nothing to do with the big boy🤦🏻
feels like i first saw this yesterday. now 425 is in for its boiler receritifcation
wow, alot of hours into the paint and detail. looks like a Comet. need to paint the cars the same color! what a beautiful site. Love it
Wow again! Best whistling ever!
AWESOME !!
They hopefully will again
Beautiful Locomotive
amo los trenes con máquinas a vapor, mi padre ( Francisco Zanotelli ) las manejó , era Ferroviario en Argentina, y tuve la dicha que me llevara en una de ellas , nunca olvidaré eso......
I'm glad to hear its still running. I rode i it in 1996 at steamtown
