Title:  Four and a quarter
Description:  Andy Mullers ex GM&N 425 ran a trip from Hoboken to Port Jervis on the rainy day of August 2 1986. There are no turning facilities in place at PO by this time, so the train ran behind a pair of M&E Alcos, while the 425 was turned on the wye at Campbell Hall, and run backwards to Port Jervis so it would lead back to Hoboken. Here it is going into Otisville tunnel on the blocks of its train.

MILW 261 At Steamtown Grand Reopening
Title:  MILW 261 At Steamtown Grand Reopening
Description:  This shot is the best that I could get in this situation, unfortunately, as the crowding at the Grand Reopening of Steamtown was the largest that I had ever seen at a rail-related event up to that time, and still rivals anything that I've seen since. Even given that it was my best, I still ended up with a guy with a tripod. Notice that he's taking a video of a stationary object. Right.... I also had to crop this to hide a stain on the print that I scanned this from. Anyway, Reading, Blue Mountain, & Northern 425 is also visible in the background on the right.
