The Final trip & Showcase trip of the convention was on Saturday June 26th when the Reading and Northern's Pacific number 425 would power the train from Duryea, PA to Port Clinton, PA. Performing most of the grades by herself, the LGSR 426 was along to assist if required. As usual, the steam crews on the R&N out-did themselves while making the 425 be the shining star! Sit back and enjoy these images.
