  • August 13, 2022 was a day that will go down in rail preservation history as for the first time since 1988, the Reading Blue Mountain and Northern Railroad would run both of their steam locomotives, 425 and Reading T-1 2102 on a steam excursion as a doubleheader for one of the iron horse rambles to mark the birthday of the railroad's owner, Andy Muller.
    If that were not enough of a cherry on top, both locomotives would carry the famous "God's Whistle" Reading 6 Chime whistle, bringing back sounds perhaps not heard since the days of the original reading rambles at the end of steam in the 50s and 60s.
    Included in this video as well are scenes of the railroads F units working the lehigh gorge train.
    So sit back, relax and enjoy the sights, and of course the sounds of Blue Mountain Glory!

    27:33, car 308. I'm the guy out the window, waving!!! My mom was sitting next to me, and we had an amazing day, the same way we rode behind her the last time in 1991. This was truly an amazing experience and I cannot thank everyone involved enough. You guys do an amazing job of recording everything, it was fabulous to watch it again!

    Looking at these two side-by-side it’s just like looking at the union pacific Big four together before two of them departed for Silvis. Still they’ll probably be together again one day.

      nice. I almost didn't stop in port Clinton, I wanted to keep going to Hecla but I saw I was ahead of the train after mohrsville from the highway so I took a chance. I think Hecla for this shot was a fair trade off.

    Now that i look at reading 2102 and 2100 I do appreciate. What there doing to Preserve steam engines.. Not many steam engines run. But the one's that do i appreciate. The most. Little fun fact steam engines are the back bone. To the united states.. I like seeing steam engines and the raw power they have. I like the video keep the good work up.
