Winter Steam on the Grand Canyon & Reading & Northern 425 Pennsylvania Winter Steam Combo
★★★★★★★★★★5 of 5 (1)
Enjoy two great steam programs on one disc!
First is "Winter Steam on the Grand Canyon Railway"
Great winter steam action on the Grand Canyon Railway. It's February and it's cold and a great time for steam as 2-8-0 #29 and 2-8-2 #4960 handle two days of photo charters.
Enjoy great action with each locomotive individually as well as doubleheaded between Williams and Grand Canyon Village including Coconino Canyon! Running Time 47 minutes
"Reading & Northern 425-Pennsylvania Winter Steam"
There's something special about steam railroading in the winter, and in this program, you'll enjoy a winter steam passenger train rolling through the eastern Pennsylvania landscape, as Reading and Northern 4-6-2 #425 puts on a photo-charter show!
See her make a round trip over two days from Port Clinton to Jim Thorpe.
Several runbys at the Hometown High Bridge.
Enjoy great action in the beautiful, remote Lehigh Gorge.
See runbys at the depots at Tamaqua and Jim Thorpe.
Witness much spirited running.
If you're looking for steam, smoke and sound, then this is the programfor you. Start watching now! Approx 48 minutes in length.
Total program length:95 minutes, both programs combined.
Disc includes chapter menus.

In February of 2016 & 2017, Railfan Pete Lerro Chartered 2 tourist railroads: 1 in Pennsylvania on the Reading & Northern with former Gulf Mobile & Northern 4-6-2 number 425 built by Baldwin in 1928 while wearing a Reading 6 Chime whistle from T1 4-8-4 number 2102 that is under restoration to operating condition at the time, & 1 in Arizona on the Grand Canyon Railway with 2 Steam Locomotives: Former Lake Superior & Ishpeming 2-8-0 Number 29 Built by ALCO in 1906, & Former Chicago Burlington & Quincy 2-8-2 number 4960 Built by Baldwin in 1923 operating on the former Santa Fe Branch Line from Williams to the South Rim of the Canyon. Besides Les Jarrett with his own narration, some other Railroad Video Producers were also on both of these trips: Jim Parfrey of Steam Train Videos for the 425 & Grand Canyon segments, while Ron Burkhard of the late Greg Scholl Video Productions, & Mike Armstrong was also on the 29 & 4960 doubleheader. This is the second Railway Productions title to include 425 since the Blue Mountain & Reading Story from 1990, & also the second time that Les captured 4960 in Arizona since Santa Fe 3751's trip in May of 2012 which was covered in "Big Steam".
