I miss watching steam in the mountains and the lonesome whistle crying in the distance. The video of the train going thru Hawkes Nest Va is really enjoyable
After 25 years sitting idle, Steam Locomotive No. 2102 is slated to return in service. In a New Release put out on January 21, 2016, the Reading & Northern Railroad has begun work on restoring No. 2102. The goal is to perform the FRA Form 4 “1472” inspection.
This was the kinda work that many of Reading's T-1's were built for. Some were made for passenger service, but many were built to haul heavy freight like this up and down the track.
mike ggg That whistle is a Boston and Maine 6-chime step top. The 425 weared it before it was taken out of service. Wish they would’ve kept it on longer.
to bad there can,t be presurw on M.rMuller to run these trisps again he runs a few with the little 425 I don,t see why not the 2102 the engine we would want to see again I wonder could he do it in cooperation with steam TOwn and perhaps 2121 ass she has all roller bearings said to be the best of the fleet of 30
If you haven't already heard, 2102 is slated to return to the reading northern. She is currently being overhauled. Might be a year or 2 til she returns but she'll be back, just you wait and see.
Relax, if you really wanna complain about pollution, go check out the emissions these big companies are producing. Today, Steam Locomotives are very much far from being the leading source of pollution, so please, don’t be that one idiot complaining about the “pollution” and let people enjoy this stuff.
@@aljones3151 Yes, I’ll admit, Steam Locomotives do cause pollution, but it’s not a lot of it, especially since compared to 60+ years ago, there are a lot less steam locomotives today. Because of this, they are far from being the main source of pollution, so again, if you truly want to see the leading source, look up how much damage companies like Amazon or the big oil companies has done.

The reading freight hooter's spooky sounds that are heard from the distance are one of the best things
Long live the Iron Horses of the Reading!

Let's hope something like this is in the cards after the 2102's overhaul is complete.
The Reading T-1s are amazing, I love them!

I love steam engines . They built this country!
The T-1s are my favourite class of American loco.
@Neil Bridger Get lost.
12:00 is my favorite 2102 whistle.

The B&M 6 Fits 2102 Nicely
AND she's on her way back later this year!!!!!
I was on the 2102 when she was pulling the freedom on the east coast at Valley Forge Pa. With my dad Frank Baker .sr.
BEAUTIFUL WHISTLE💘💘💘
Keep the uploads coming. They're great!
So apparently the hooter whistle on 2102 never gets replaced, unlike 2100 where BOTH its whistles were changed.
That is one long train pulled by a steam locomotive.
That, my boy, is EXACTLY what she was designed to do!
@@mikeggg5671 81 cars! No minor feet, they are not loaded but still very impressive. Also would 100% still be able to pull 60-80 loaded coal hoppers.
My, father fired the 2102 back in the day, he retired from the Reading RR, 1977,👍as an engineer.🤠, Frank jr.
👍 Greg
It's a Ghost Whistle👻🚂
I wonder what people on the road thought about 4:30 mark when they saw the smoke come up from under the bridge?
I've often thought of that myself!
Imagine if they put a caboose at the end
How many coal cars?
thanks greg this is great im in the wrong era big time jim stickman
2102 roll on
They should use that locomotive on a hallowe’en night so they can hear that ghostly whistle
Yes that Reading hooter is as haunting as N&W 1218's
2102 is operating and hauled revenue freight yesterday
When is 425 due for her boiler inspection?
Her 1472 is due at the end of 2022.
Gregory D. Pawelski I thought it was 2028.
Where is this gem now?
The Reading T-1 #2102 is inside a building located on the property of the Reading & Northern Railroad, Port Clinton, Pa.
👍
