According to various Internet reports, Reading & Northern employees were told a few days ago that 4-6-2 #425 will be restored to operation by October 2007.

That is the most likely scenario right now, although some excursions are operated elsewhere on the system, ie from Port Clinton to Jim Thorpe, as well as mini-trips for towns along the line celebrating various events.
