Reading & Northern T-1 2102 Steam Train Fights Uphill Out of Jim Thorpe, PA!

READ:
2102 climbs out of Jim Thorpe towards Nesquehoning with a modest 14-car train on the first of three Fall Foliage trips for the 2024 season. Though never in any danger of stalling, she slips a bit more than I think anyone was expecting her to, a testament to the unpredictable rail conditions during Autumn, and a taste of what's to come on the next trip, which is sold out. Enjoy =)

I was in the same car that you were in. That was a nice ride and a beautiful day.

Great video! The wheelslip yesterday was insane to listen to!

Great video! We were one car behind you.

I wonder if the R&N could build a new regional railroad station in Tunkhannock like they did with Nesquehoning and Pittston?

Leaf season. Leaves get crushed on the track and make a nasty slippy goo..

And man do they thrash on that thing. Most roads baby these things.. R&N runs them hard
