Four and a quarter
Title:  Four and a quarter
Description:  Andy Mullers ex GM&N 425 ran a trip from Hoboken to Port Jervis on the rainy day of August 2 1986. There are no turning facilities in place at PO by this time, so the train ran behind a pair of M&E Alcos, while the 425 was turned on the wye at Campbell Hall, and run backwards to Port Jervis so it would lead back to Hoboken. Here it is going into Otisville tunnel on the blocks of its train.
