Reading & Northern's flagship locomotive, ex-Gulf, Mobile & Northern 4-6-2 "Pacific" #425, has been referred to as "Blue Mountain Thunder" in recent years, in reference to its thunderous exhaust that can sometimes be heard for miles. While filming the blue Pacific on its runs through the Lehigh Gorge in Jul of 2017, a thunderstorm made its way to the region, just as the last train of the day had departed from Jim Thorpe Station. This scene captures #425 "storming" through the storm at Glen Onoko, a popular spot in the gorge. Now please enjoy this exciting vignette brought to you by Blue Comet Productions!
This video was filmed on July 1st, 2017.
