Reading & Northern 2102 & 425 Double Heading The Iron Horse Ramble (August 13th, 2022)

READ:
On August 13th, 2022, The Reading, Blue Mountain & Northern Railroad decided to run a steam double header for that dates Iron Horse Ramble excursion. In what is possibly the only double header before 425 goes down at the end of the year for her mandated 15-year inspection and rebuild, both the 2102 and 425 put on an impressive display of what steam power was capable of back in the heyday. Enjoy the action =)

Due to the logistics of running a steam double header on the R&N, the steamers were cut off the train on the return run at Port Clinton shops, where a pair of diesels took over and powered the train the rest of the way back to Reading Outer.
