The former GM&N #425's original tourist railroad assignment was the Valley Forge Scenic RR in 1968 and 1969. Although it never ran to Valley Forge State (at that time) Park, the name was hoped to get more ridership. The actual route was an old Reading Railroad branchline between Phoenixville and Kimberton PA

How current? I have some shots of Valley Forge Scenic #425 from the late 60's.

 Does anyone have photos of the RBM&N 425 4-6-2? And if anyone has any info on the October Excursions the 425 is scheduled to pull?
