Hi all,
Yesterday, R&N had a test run with locomotive 425 , They departed Port Clinton,Pa. at 11:00am for Jim Thorpe,Pa. They only stop once for a brief moment below New Ringgold,Pa. , to check the new bearing they replaces in the one diver on the Left side. "Every thing worked very well", said Shane Fredrickson the engineer. The locomotive is toting a new bell and head light. "The bell is off an Reading class G-5 and the light is off an DL locomotive Said Chad Fredrickson ", the fireman and also a brother to the Engineer.

Here is the video I took , Hope you enjoy.

Do you mean a G-3? There were no G-5s.
