LGSRY (lgsry.com)announced that 4-6-2 #425 will be powering their trains on June 23-24, apparently this will be the only 425 visit to the LGSRY until October, when #425 will be there for 2 weekends of fall foliage trips.

A beautiful engine on a professionally run railroad. Well worth the trip.
Just a reminder that this is the weekend for R&N 425 in Jim Thorpe, and I would think that sometime tomorrow 425 will go solo from Port Clinton to Jim Thorpe to get ready.
A Mountain Top, PA., to Jim Thorpe excursion on 9/22/18 has also been announced.
For those of you in the Jim Thorpe region this weekend you'll definitely not want to miss out on a ride behind #425. Although its not as good as her fall trips its still spectacular to see this "light" pacific stomp through the Lehigh Gorge. I do not know if the gondola will be behind the engine, but if so, definitely ride it!
Here's a video from Memorial Day 2017:

Where can tickets be purchased for the fall trips?

Are you speaking of the 9/22/18 trip previously mentioned, or fall trips in general?
2 impressions from today at Jim Thorpe, PA.:
1. No one is interested in those old steamy engines anymore...LOL 
2. "Kids don't want to watch trains go by anymore", at 3:15pm, this R&N switch job came through Jim Thorpe, heading for the NS interchange at Lehighton.

I’d like to buy tickets for the September and or the October trips.
Here's the basic info for the R&N; you want the 2 weekends in October shaded in blue.
For the 9/22/18 trip, this is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Mountain Top, and tickets must be purchased through their outlet; www.eventbrite.com, link to steam-train-excursion.
There are also links through the rotary club facebook , and also through the Friends of the Reading & Northern facebook page.
Tickets are $70 for 80+ mile round trip, and 4 hours in beautiful downtown Jim Thorpe, lol.

No sense just sitting around waiting to run passengers. Lets go to work. A friend shared this picture of the 425 moving cars around in Nesquehoning.

You all missed #425 acting as a helper shoving a freight up Hometown Hill wide open. Who said 4-6-2 light pacifics weren't utilitarian!
PENNSY, Did you get a video of that?

Unfortunately no. I wasn't there, but a few friends of mine were and one of them got video of her. I think the video has only been posted to Facebook unfortunately.
DARN
