Reading 2102: Rambling Amid the Fading Fall Foliage
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 січ 2023
- Throughout much of 2022, the Reading Blue Mountain & Northern Railroad operated their recently-restored Reading T-1 number 2102 on multiple all-day excursions between Reading Outer Station and Jim Thorpe. These iconic trips always provide photogenic locations to capture the locomotive working hard up steep mountain grades.
After suffering a mechanical problem on one of its Fall Foliage Excursions on October 8, the railroad decided to run 2102 on their final steam-powered excursion to Jim Thorpe. With the clocks falling back the prior night, the early evening darkness allowed for some unique lighting on the return trip to Reading. Due to the logistics involved in operating one of these all-day excursions, the 2102 was cut off the train at Port Clinton on its return to Reading just as the darkness of the night settled in.
All good things must come to an end, so sit back, relax, and enjoy seeing Reading 2102 on its last excursion of its first season back in service after a 6-year restoration.
These scenes and more will be featured in a longer, more comprehensive video documenting Reading 2102's return.
This video was filmed on Sunday, November 6, 2022.

9:37 I don't think I've ever seen a steam locomotive's headlight that bright before, amazing!
That makes two of us! The thick fog and darkness of the afternoon really accentuated its brightness
Awesome! Thanks!
Thank you!
This is an AMAZING video of 2102, the R&N definetly puts 2102 to work!
Thank you, Aiden! There is no other show in the country like that of the Reading & Northern.
Amazing shot at 8:56 I really liked how the nose light beamed through the fog and smoke!
Thank you! That was a favorite shot of mine!
That was most excellent.
Many thanks, Mr. Dennis!
Man, that audio is DEEP. Love the atmosphere. Very well done!
Thank you very much, Hammer! I’m glad you noticed the audio as well since I was really trying to nail it in this one. Glad you enjoyed!
Excellent work, Mark!
Thank you, Tom!
She’s running like she’s back in her heyday.
Absolutely. The Reading & Northern runs steam how they were built to run.
Excellent work Mark, I’m interested to see what 2102 is planned to do this year
Thanks, Greg!
Well done Mark! Those southbound scenes are very well done. Looking forward to 2023!
Thank you, Joe! I really enjoyed the rather unique lighting this trip allowed for going south!
Fantastic video Mark. Great shots.
Thanks!
Great video, audio was fantastic and sounds like she was putting on a show. However at the Nesquehoning Tunnel I was convinced I saw the light . Great work with that light tho
Thank you, Christian! Definitely really moody at the tunnel!
Well dang, we were standing right next to each other at Mohrsville on the morning of the 12th! 😂 Good to find you here bud!
Likewise!
I feel for ya, that was some TOUGH weather to shoot in. God what a ride that was!
It was definitely tricky conditions with a dark sky, fog, and the change of time so it was even darker than normal, but it allowed for some unique shots! And yes, I can only imagine how good the ride was
8:50 minute marvelous
Thank you!
Beautiful audio, i must ask what microphone/ recording device did you use?

This was filmed with the Canon EOS R and the RF 24-105 F4L lens.
