Reading & Northern 2102: Autumn on the Mauch Chunk Express

In October and November 2022 Reading and northern railroad would fire up steam locomotive #2102 to haul the famed fall foliage excursions. During these trips the train would pass iconic locations. During these runs #2102 would sport a Reading 6 chime and Hooter whistle. Please enjoy this video by The Pennsylvania Railfan, “Autumn on the Mauch Chunk Express.”
Filmed October 1, 8, 29 and November 6 2022

Huh, really strange how it lines up almost exactly to my 2021 Autumn video with 425, aside from the shots that you weren’t able to find or get to.

awesome video, nothin beats the sound of 2102's exhaust at speed. 😀

I LOVE T-1 #2102... she's a real beauty. I'm so glad to have an HO brass model of her. 😊 And I get a big kick outta her shrill-sounding whistle!!! 👉 36:20, 37:20 👏😂

[@mumumaaaah]

Why was 2102 slipping?

[@ThePennsylvaniaRailfan]

Because there wasn’t enough traction in some spots
