    Great video, My dad was a Reading RR Engineer, retired from Conrail as an engineer, I am a proud son of a almost fogotten era, I have memories as a kid of dad comming home from work with coal dust on him .

    Excellent vid. I was quite surprised, actually, to see that that Pacific was pulling a water carrier; I think the only time you got that in Britain was with the Flying Scotsman.
    First to view, by the way.

    Been here many times but never saw trains run! Am very familiar with the Mauch Chunk history & Jim Thorpe (both athlete & town) in general! I have vids from the 1009s showing rail cars being readied up!
    Never knew this was considered the "Switzerland" of Pennsylvania! Also visited Blue Mountain and Reading but didn't ride yet! Obviously I have to get out here again! Is this recent footage? Looks and sounds great! Beautiful steam locomotives too!

    Hello Michael! Well that I can tell after viewing, - I in the absolute delight!!! Extremely interesting plot! Thanks for detailed shooting of a steam locomotive #425, it is magnificent! I envy you, as at us such shows practically aren't present... ((( At me it is some questions: "SWITZERLAND" is a museum? And still, - who or what, pulls a cord with a bell on a steam locomotive? A horn sound - special love!!! Thank you!!!
