Reading & Northern 2102 Returns to the Mainline
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 май 2022
- An impressive sight of the Reading & Northern T-1 2102 hauling a train of 50 empty hoppers up over the mountain on the Mainline from North Reading to Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania on April 26, 2022 as a load test for the upcoming Iron Horse Rambles.
Our day started in North Reading Yard where the train is being prepped by end cab switchers for the 4-8-4 to take North up to Haucks, where they divert from former Reading trackage to the CNJ Nesquehoning Branch. They then run around the wye at Jim Thorpe Junction into the gorge, shoving back across the Lehigh River through Nesquehoning Junction into town. After laying over in Jim Thorpe for couple of hours, they depart heading back up the grade on the Nesquehoning Branch. Once the hoppers reach Middle Yard in Tamaqua, they cut away from the train and take the 2102 north back to Haucks to turn the locomotive around on the wye.

The Rambler returns to the Rails with all new excursions planned this year!!!
At 5:11 is Chairman, Owner, and CEO Andy Muller Jr. as he’s putting his hands around his mouth telling to one of his employees. He was today’s engineer and he is really happy to have his locomotive back in action once again.
In the late 40's, early 50's I lived with my Uncle who was a supervisor on the RDG railroad. On weekends he would take me to the train yards where I could visit the roundhouse and watch the engines, including a few steamers on the round turn table. Great memories!
The way the whistle echos through the valley is so Haunting, and i Love it!
Also that new Paint job on the engine is Stunning! What a magnificent engine, good to see it running again.

11:11 Gotta Love those period accurate signals! Spectacular shot!
2102 pulled out of the yard like it had nothing attached to it. Amazing how well it's running.
She's a beauty!
That is indeed a spectacular site. I sure wish that more and more steamers would run like this (With no diesel attached) hauling a decent sized freight train, that would be a site I'd love to see

Beautiful restoration! The sharp edged chuff of a well tuned engine that is pulling hard! Wow! I was lucky enough to ride behind 2012 from Tuckerton to Leesport. Probably mi-1980s, Looks even better now! Amazing job!
Good n' sharp, great photography of a stunning steam locomotive.
Indeed, even though I lived it, it's hard to believe that all really happened.
the echoes of the whistle through the forest... really enjoyed it.. thank you for this wonderful experience ❤️❤️❤️❤️
A fast, picturesque, scenic, atmospheric, and even somewhat haunting 26 minutes. Well done! Thanks!
(I'm seriously considering moving to Pennsylvania!)
Yeah that Reading hooter sure can be spooky depending on what pitch it captures the ear and echoes into the distance.
WOW! Just Wow!
That whistle is awesome the way it echoes in the valley.
Fantastic video.
9:42 that whistle echo is haunting…
The T1’s hauntingly beautiful whistle echoing off the hills. Just magical.
All I can say is wow!!! 2102 is a beautiful machine. The haunting whistle is my favorite part. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome job, love the hooter
The sound of that steam whistle amongst the mountains is pure bliss. Thank you to all who worked hard to give her new life.👍
She has a very European sounding whistle. If I close my eyes, I think I hear a German engine through the Harz...
I Really, Really Love Every American Steam Locomotives. :-D
a hard working t-hog at it's finest, I keep telling myself that I gotta get out to see this thing
Very nice. I'm going to have to ask you about a couple of those locations.
Yes, definitely, and this is just the tip of the iceberg as far as what I hope to cover during the Rambles.
Very nicely done indeed! My favorite scene: the smoke over the hoppers at 15:40 -- lovely, and good for you for noticing it and capturing it. Second favorite: the smoke over the church in Nesquehoning. And the entry into Tamaqua on the return, also top notch.
This is what stew was built to do! I love this because yes
Perfect !
Awesome work. Good cloudy day for the 2102. What a run by the R&N
Thanks! And R&N really knows how to put on a show. The dedication of the employees, steam crew, and Andy Muller are always present.
We're all US steam locos driven from th right hand side.?
@@nigelmitchell351If not all, then most. Just like our current diesel locomotives are.
9:39 is absolutely haunting, really solidifies my love for the Reading Hooter. I mean yeah her 6 chime is iconic, but that hooter fits surprisingly well. Good stuff!!
Great to see the 484 northern thundering along the main line again
Looking forward to the trip.
Best video from the day by far!
Thanks man I had to get a buzzed cut from all the cinders in my hair.
Excellent as always! Great work
Thanks Eric!
2102 do be pulling those hoppers like a champ
ChainsawN&W1218, love those hooter whistles, good to see the 4-8-4 in action again,I hope one day the VMT can restore N&W A Class 2-6-6-4# 1218,love that single note hooter whistle.
You could a whole episode about bringing her back to life.
Believe it or not, it started as a 2-8-0.
Maybe they retained the bell from the 2-8-0 and called it a “rebuild” so they would not have to charge a capital account.
It is an enjoyable sight to see a steam locomotive hauling a freight train in 2022, the Reading 4-8-4 2102 looks handsome hauling the coal train and I am glad that it has been restored back to operation.
A 4=8=4 haulin freight and a CABOOSE!! WOW !!!!! Brings tears to my eyes.for the old days. Watchin the cars roll by I opened another tab to play Sons of the Pioneers "One More Ride". What I wouldnt give for one more real ride to smell the "Smoke, Cinders and Soot"
This is such a beautiful steam locomotive. A new train brought back from the past to the modern age. Also, I like to think that this freight run was a nice callback to when she did freight service runs before and after her conversion to a T1 4-8-4 "Northern" back in the day.
STUNNING clips! Truly a beautiful engine. Can't wait until 2100 joins her!
That beautiful train horn sound good my favorite car is the caboose's love miss seeing them dpu
Awesome capture indeed
What a really great video! Thank you so much!!
It's so great to see all these beautiful machines coming back to service after all this time.
Outstanding video! What a great show!
Cool view of how much velocity the exhaust has as it exits the stack at 12:10.
Great catch!
Some of the old structures, saw better days, needing a crew to patch them up, at least, a make shift, crew rest area, or relay spot for communications, spare parts, monitor security station.. Repurpose the structures, at least a snack bar, coffee bar, pit stop.. Besides, Clam Chowder soup, bisquits, ham/cheese sandwich, might hit the spot on runs. Cold New England winters.. I was mistaken, I miscounted thinking it was a 4-10-4 Steam locomotive.. It's a 4-8-4! Yet beautiful work. :) (Brick mason, roofers, and insulated windows might get that structure sound.) :)
Wonderful video !
Awesome capture.
I Love That Steam Locomotive
Terrific vid mate! Many thanks for this. So so good to see a modern, powerful steam loco hauling freight cars!!
Absolutely beautiful engine. Thanks for the show.
2102 in my opinion is a national treasure !
Nice vid! 👍👍🎉🎉
How incredibly beautiful!
Jaw dropping! Wow 🤩
Excellent videography and editing, A++. I especially enjoyed the Jim Thorpe curve scenes.
Wow súper video my friend like and Greetings from Argentina !
Steam Locomotives will Always be Number One

such a beautiful locomotive!
This seems unreal. Never have I seen a steam locomotive in action. Paint job is A1. Very impressive video, sir.
I got to see this in person and it was honestly awesome
What an absolute fantastic locomotive.
Even though I’m not the biggest fan of steam this video is fantastic from a railroad history buff’s perspective. Some of the more remote shots almost seem like you brought a 4K camera back 75 years in the past and shot routine freight movements. Excellent work!
Why aren't you a fan of steam?
I don’t know why but the 2 guys popping their heads out the window simultaneously at 6:15 had me laughing😂😂😂
This was a beautiful video. My Grandad lived in a railroad town in the PA mountains. Steam was gone by the time my memory began, but i always wondered what it would have looked and sounded like. I wish I would have known this was happening. Loved to hear that whistle in the hollow
Such a big beautiful Northern
Very nice videography! Its nice how you focus on the characters and the little elements! Cheers! -Alex
At 5:44, it was SO DAMN GOOD to see A REAL CABOOSE, AND NOT THAT WORTHLESS FLASHING RED LIGHT!!
It reminded me of the red cabooses that were on the end of the Southern Railroad freight trains.❤❤❤😊😊😊
I miss them.
Amazing video
23:30 did anybody notice the wheelslip when it was over the crossing?
Also a bit of slip approaching the bridge at about 14:55.
Very nice. Was a great day.
A truly amazing video. Haunting.
Thanks awesome train.
Long Live Every American Steam Locomotives
That's the best sounding steam whistle, I've ever heard. Such a haunting and lonesome sound.
Wonderful video!! I love 4-8-4 "Northerns". My dad used to ride 6100, 6200, and 6400 series Northerns on the CNR.
11:55 you can see each wheel accommodate the irregularities of the rails.
Fantastic video wow
This almost feels unreal
Nice seeing a whole train without any graffiti…!!!
Very nice video, LIKE....
This Video is So Dramatic I Love IT!!!!
I love you 2102💛💛🖤🖤
Best RUclips Video In The Universe
5 and a Half Rating Stars for Very Very Excellent
There's just something about those movie-style cameras that make things look SO cinematic.
I saw this coal burner in a video, and now i can't stop watching it. Steam trains are fascinating in a way modern diesels will never be.
Awesome work!
Beautiful locomotive
Awesome . . .
Excellent.
when ya got it , ya got it, and she still got it!!!!! :)
Awesome Video.
Beauty
Beautiful vifdeo.
Das hört sich ganz toll an,da hört man was noch in ihr steckt
The BEST. R/R Channel yet. Glad im watching instead of a movie. May DUMP those other channels( some).
At 23:33 , she started slippin' and a slidin' a bit... then it got real slippery within a couple of seconds after that grade crossing.
Bet the old gal wasn’t even breaking a sweat!!
it wasn't until the shot at 20:20 that I realized how massive the firebox is on this locomotive
Simplesmente maravilhosa e poderosa máquina.
very nice video
