Reading Shops were never owned or on BM&R property. They were in Conrail's Spring St. Yard which is about a mile or so south of where the old BM&R ends. I think they are vacant now. In 1985 RCT&HS was using them as their facilities, and 2102 steamed to there from Ohio for the big mainline excursions Sept. 1985, and there were photo shoots there with 2102, the PRR E8's, CNJ RS3 #1554, Reading diesel, and 425 I believe. There were postcards made of the shops and 2102 mainline excursions in 1985.
Enjoyed watching! Thanks!
I still love this song
Great video dude! Thanks for sharing!!

Wonder if they can bring back the Reading Shops to life in the future?
That must be the PRR 3 Chime that was on 425, sounds like a LIRR G5 and a PRR K4 altogether.
There still standing , but R&N isn't using them. I think I heard there for sale.
Len.
Len do you have any videos of BM&R pulling freight on the old PRR line
and at 7:42 what whistle is 2102 wearing?
B&O 3 Chime
I'm not sure, I'll take a look through my video collection.
Len.
at 0:44 is that 2102? or what steamer is that?
it is likely 2839 from the old Southern Steam program.
Sorry for a very late reply, but that is a CN engine (don't know it's number) but it was used in a movie, and the railroads name was artic central,
@@TheBestTrainsAreRealit’s actually CP 2839
Hey its Charlie kachel
len are the reading shops still standing and if so does R&N still use em?
Engineer5344 ha, no.. the shops stand, though.
aw man, agh. oh well.
THE FACTS ARE::It is GOOD TO SEE OPERATING STEAM ENGINES
IN THIS MODERN TIMES EVEN IF THEY ARE VIDEO"S
425 is still running and 2102 should be some time this year
Reading Hooter or the B&M grower .
