6 chime on 425 sounds a lot like the one she wore when she was restored back to operation in 2007, nice.

Pretty sure it's the same one from 2007 which is cool

I was a passenger on that trip, and both the trip and this video were awesome!! I know the 425 is down for her 1,472-day inspection, but I can't wait to ride behind the 2102 again, and I would also love to see it running on another part of the R&N's system, such as on one of the new Pittston-to-Jim Thorpe runs.

Not to forget, but this was Andy Muller’s 75th Birthday on the day of the doubleheader. He was onboard of the rear of the Black Diamond Observation Car with his family and other invited guests.

Now the Reading & Northern has TWO steam locomotives.

Doubleheading together for the 1st time since 1988.

If you close your eyes and just listen to the audio, you couldn't tell the difference between this and the original Iron Horse Rambles in the early 60s.

Those locomotives must have mighty fine toes to sound that good!

4 Loudest Steam Locomotives in the preservation era (in no particular order): 1. Frisco 1522 2. Reading 2102 3. Reading and Northern 425 4. Western Maryland 734 I also heard some people consider Norfolk and Western 1218, but I'm not entirely sure about that.

When it comes to transportation devices, can't invent nothing more human like than a steam locomotive!!!! Ant that's about the most whistle I have ever heard.......

I know the T1 is the bigger deal right now but I think 425 woulda looked better in the front. Great vid, awesome shots. (Side note) at 2:30 it’s really interesting to hear that they’re both wearing reading 6 chimes, but each are slightly different and have their own unique sound.

I like to think of it like the Big Boy's return to steam. It lead a doubleheader with 844. This is very similar to The Great Race to Ogden: where the locomotive that was recently restored; after decades of silence, leads a doubleheader.

Awesome job. If I’m not mistaken I was one of the ones beside you at 2:21

4:56 425, with a Reading 6 chime, got TOTALLY drowned out by 2102's exhaust! Such raw power!
