Reading & Northern 2102 at the Iron Horse Rambles - Reading PA - August 13, 2023

Hello railfans! This is a video I've wanted to make for a long time! Today we're chasing the Reading T-1 number 2102 at the Iron Horse Rambles!

The Reading and Northern 2102 is a 4-8-4 Northern type steam locomotive, built from a 1925 Baldwin 2-8-0 into a 4-8-4 by the Reading Company in 1945. She served on the Reading until 1956, but returned to the area for the Iron Horse Rambles in the early sixties. Now, we honor that event with a new Iron Horse Rambles, with the same engine! This trip travels from Reading to Jim Thorpe PA, and back, a round trip 120 miles long.

For this chase, my friends ‪@CRBTrains‬ and ‪@jackboy317‬ joined me, and we had a phenomenal time. Reading 2102 was all we'd hoped for and more!

Thanks for watching everyone! Remember to leave a like and consider subscribing if you're new!
