Blackout - You're welcome! I'm happy you enjoyed the film. I have more on the way but please be patient - I work on them as I have time (I'm still working full time). I always have thought - what good would these videos/photos be if they were sitting in a box in the attic? Nothing! Just like a good book - read, enjoy and pass them along...
The audio that last minute or so of the video! Sweet! The previous couple minutes featured a good representation of just about all of the common car lines the American automobile companies offered in that era which makes it sort of like looking at one video of two different times in history.
She’s back! After 31 years sitting in idle, the locomotive made test runs from Reading to Port Clinton on the first day, to Tamaqua on the second day, and extended the run to Jim Thorpe on the third day last week. They got plenty of time to slowly adapt for this month and the following before pulling its first excursion.
@@brycenew I hope to get some footage of the test and/or freight runs. With Google maps and social media it will be far more challenging than it was 30 years ago. I expect the roads to be swamped with railfans.
Hi Mike Steven - you can see 2102 running this year starting May 28th. When did you get the Lionel model of the T1? I vaguely remember an ad for one quite a few years ago.
@@stcyardmaster6094 It was a couple years ago. I was following 2102 on UA-cam as I live in Palmerton. When I saw it was available I grabbed it. Delivery was a saga because of the Covid frenzy but it was worth it.
i think it's a Reading Freight Hooter. recently, a video came out where during a boiler test, they fitted 2102 with the same type of whistle(maybe not the same whistle _itself,_ but the same type). here's the video if you want to watch: ua-cam.com/video/DedpeV70XIo/v-deo.html&ab_channel=MattRailfanning
They have a box of whistles they switch out. If you watch the various 425 vids, you catch freight whistles, a crusader whistle, a steeple top 6 chime, even a steamboat style at one point. No telling what 2102 will wear on any given day.
The man approaching at 10:43 is Andy Muller Jr. Chairman and CEO of the Reading and Northern Railway. He was right at the throttle of this locomotive.
This is Awesome. April 91 I was just returning home from Desert Shield/Storm . I'm a Disabled Marine now . Thank you for sharing this video.

@@stcyardmaster6094 Thank you . My name is Tom Harris.
Great video. So loving that whistle. Music for the soul, and for any train lover especially steam, it's music for the heart.
Thank you very much! This year should bring a lot more T-1 scenes to video.
Well filmed.

I have heard it is supposed to be running this year (2022).
Yes - May 28 is the first run. Check out rbmnrr.com for the full schedule.
It's back

You're very welcome! 2022 should bring a lot more T-1 views. I've been waitinf for 31 years!!
@@stcyardmaster6094 Bring it!!!! She’s SUCH an incredible loco. Going to be fantastic to have her back. Hopefully she’ll pull some
freight too 🤞🏻

@@stcyardmaster6094 All the best with that! Any footage will be good footage ;)
2102 will be back!
It is back!!!
@@TrainznProgress Yes, finally!
I was fortunate to acquire this locomotive in Lionel legacy

would love to get my hands on the HO scale model from BLI
I didn’t know they made replicas in ho. I was only aware of lionel reproductions
Is that the original whistle?

I sure saw old uncle Joe, moving kinda slow, at the Junction.
Rbmn is crazy
The engineers don't wave from the trains anymore, not like did back in 1954.
Wow
