- @Steamtrainvideos posted this awesome clip of Reading 2102 a few months back. It's some of the best hard-working steam engine sound I've ever heard, and there's a few neat things operationally to point out that I hope you'll enjoy. The video is here, if you'd like to watch and blow your speakers out: • Reading & Northern 210...
Let me know if you enjoyed this!

Thanks for the reaction Hyce!
3 things to add: 1) I'm pretty sure the fireman is using the shovel to scan the fire for any holes/high spots/etc. They use this same technique with 425 which obviously doesn't have a stoker.
2) I filmed 3 other trips in the cab, and while all the departures were impressive, Shane (the engineer) really went after it on this day (Sept. 3).
3) This is a great railfan-friendly operation that is well worth visiting/riding/chasing. The sound is great in videos, but it cannot compare to being there. And 2102 is by far the loudest locomotive I've heard. From trackside the exhaust will make your ears ring when they're working full throttle up a grade.
That is 100 percent what the fireman is doing. You have to be careful when doing this on big engines. The draft can pull the shovel right out of your hands. You'll never see it again if that happens... Till you dump the ashpan. Small, melted chunks of the head and wood ash will be all that's left.
I've never heard a locomotive with chuffs louder than the whistle. Dang.
@@maxwilson7001 That's because most preserved steam engines don't get to work nearly as hard as this.
Imagine a Terex Titan being used to haul a handful of fist sized stones. That's the extent of how hard most preserved steam locomotives work, mainly due to the cost of maintenance and the downtime involved. The harder you work 'em, the more work you have to do to keep 'em running, especially with the firebox and running gear. The last time 2102 worked this hard was probably when she worked the Rambles.
the term, "Thunder Under Heaven" Comes to mind.
Love the last point. Been to the 2nd and last Ramble and they are great with railfans, love the environment!
Normal guy: reacts excitedly to football and his favorite team winning
Hyce: *Laughs like a young child in a candy shop when seeing a big Choo*
Hey me too, man... Me too
Black locomotives matter!
To be honest, this is a lot more "normal" for me.
I can relate to Hyce. I like Big Choo
I don’t blame him, because I’d be trying so hard not to do the same.
I was there when this was shot! She was pulling 20 packed coaches that day, and when she gets workin’ that hard, her stack talk is loud enough to blow my camera mic out. R&N did an absolutely amazing job restoring her. Seeing this in person was absolutely amazing
Nothing will top that double header in august probably the nicest day of the year too
@@jeremylando40 I rode behind that! That was awesome
@@OfficeRailfan22 my favorite chase I’ve ever done!
@@jeremylando40 I rode on that excursion! Absolutely beautiful!
@@jeremylando40 my favorite chase would probably be the September 3 rambles as everything went as I planned it to go. Ended up getting her at 22 spots
Look at what our grandfathers accomplished. See and hear what these guys accomplished. Respect.
Totally agree!!!
- The Reading and Northern doing what they do best ✅
- 2102 doing what she does best ✅
- Hyce Amazing Commentary ✅
Yep this is official my favorite video on UA-cam
I can totally relate to the excitement that Hyce has. I got to see Big Boy when she returned to steam in 2019 and that was absolutely awesome
NO BIG BOY
One of the best train clips I’ve ever filmed was of 4014 climbing Cajon Pass and having it pass a few dozen feet away from me.
Needless to say it was a religious experience.
@@a101a6 I got a really good video of 4014 and 844 blasting through Weber Canyon right after the Golden Spike Sesquicentennial and it was a religious experience 😭
I remember being out in a field in Wyoming, just the sound of the wind rushing over the plains and the sound of the whistle in the far distance. Beautiful scene… shed a tear that day.
I was lucky to catch Big Boy working pretty hard up a 1% grade here in Arizona in 2019. In case you may be interested ua-cam.com/video/Etd6YXfw-yU/v-deo.html
As a Pennsylvanian. I still think PA had some of the best steam trains in the US. I'm still excited for the T1 to get its build done.
Pennsylvania was home to so many large railroads. Harrisburg resident, my great grandfather worked for the reading on road engines.
The northeast and the west coast have the best steam engines
@LegendaryCollektor Including the CNJ which had its mainline in Eastern part of the state
From Bethlehem I love hearing the trains pass since I live close enough to a track to hear them go but I'd love to go see this beauty
To be honest, I’m more looking forward to the 1361 coming back
I did the math on this when you talked about it a while back. Shes got roughly 1200 tons of cars behind her. Not including the weight of the engine, fuel, passengers, etc.
Absolutely blows my mind they get that amount of weight moving so fast. The sheer raw horsepower is amazing.
I believe, you'd be talking more about tractive effort as Hyce said horsepower was a very bad way to describe how strong a steamer was. We get the point though.
horses had nothing to do with it. it is pure steam power. :)
It takes a tremendous amount of torque, to accelerate 1,200 tons, that quickly.
@@roadtrain_ Tractive Effort is not power, it is a measure of static pull. Accelerating mass is all about power production. A locomotive with higher tractive effort can create more pull from a standstill, but a locomotive with more "horse" power will accelerate it faster and to a higher top speed.
Remember you all this 484 was rebuilt from one of the most powerful 280's the Reading shops ever out shopped!!!
“Running it like they stole it” is now entering my vocabulary permanently.
2102 is definitely the loudest preserved engine in the country currently.
They definitely worked 425 that hard, too; though when I saw the doubleheader, it was easy to tell who was doing the work - it was all 2102 😎
Old four and a quarter is a loud son of a gun too, but yeah, 2102 has it beat.
@@Hyce777 would you say that the 2102 is the loudest steam locomotive in America?
Great to see 2102 doing what she was built to do, even as a preserved loco
What Reading & Northern does is absolutely amazing! I've been chasing 2102 all year, and the sound is amazing and deafening at times. They run those excursions along 60 miles of their mainline, some of which has substantial grades. She really screams when climbing those grades, and in places it echoes of the sides of mountains amplifying the effect. Reading & Northern is a world class operation, and if you ever can get out here to see 2102 (or 425) in action I highly recommend it. I really enjoyed seeing your reaction to this video.
Not to mention, this general area is a huge hub for active steam in what is a pretty metropolitan area. A lot are able to be seen within 2-4 hours of Philadelphia.
@@bdub215 so true! We live in one of the best places in the country for railfanning!
I'm with you on that. I've watched this video many times but it was like seeing it for the first time coupled with the reaction from Hyce a man who truly appreciates steam.
Hyce foaming is the best thing cos it shows even railroaders get excited for railroading
In 1985 my wife and I rode behind N&W 611 from buffalo to Erie, PA. We hit 70 MPH with 22 cars. At that point the exhaust is just a steady roar. Being in the sound car behind the locomotive was amazing. N&W's steam program was spectacular.
I've chased the 2102 for 2 years, and just got to ride it a week ago out of the newly opened Nesquehoning Station where they were pulling even more cars through the Lehigh Valley gorge to Pittston. I sat as close to the locomotive as you could get, got covered in coal, and it was an absolute blast! Of all the excursions I've been on , the 2102 and RBM&N definitely put on the best show hands down.
Not going to lie. I understand Hyce's excitement. I live near echo canyon and to listen to the Living Lengent and Big Boy both coast into and out of Ogden was a once in a lifetime experience. The whistles, heavy chuffs, rod cranks during coasting. It's hard to recreate that experience. I was giggling like a unsupervised child in a toy shop. Many times I wish I could've lived during the steam age but here I am.
Made me smile seeing Hyce's excitement.
Also side note. Could you imagine how far steam could've come if railroads stuck with it? I know computers and other electronics would've made or break steam for some people but the efficiency of a computerized steam locomotive would be interesting
@@firewolf2079 I think that if diesel was, say, too expensive to use for trains, they would have eventually started to make steam-electric locomotives using turbines instead of reciprocating engines (just like ships and power plants switched to using turbines) for higher efficiency and fewer exposed moving parts.
Then again, I may be completely wrong.
Loved this. First time I saw 2102 was with 425, coming around the curve out of Nesquehoning and boy, oh boy, what a show. Just barely hearing the whistle over the exhaust, seeing the giant plume of black smoke, and then 2102’s headlight just peaking out from behind the warehouse headed into the curve. Thought all the smoke was from both engines, nope, mostly 2102. The thunder was phenomenal. I’m absolutely going back next year.
The double header leaving Port Clinton was truly amazing.
@@1940limited Wish I would've just scrapped my other plans for that trip and just chased the Rambles train. It was one of those cases of trying to do too much in one go, Strasburg, the Curve, etc. Next time will be better for sure :)
It's truly an experience hearing a massive steam locomotive working as hard as it can at speed. Combine that with the sound of a Reading 6 chime and you have arguably the best sounds you can hear!
2102: *Spins the Drivers as they keep trying to build speed while pulling the throttle to the ceiling*
Hyce and the Engineer: We got places to be!!
The 2102 sounds absolutely magnificent in this clip, just the sounds of the Big 4-8-4 getting her feet under her and start her stride is amazing! Thanks for pointing out all the good details Hyce! Always pumping out awesome content
Something about Andy and his team...these guys GET IT! They really understand their equipment intimately, and know exactly what to give their locomotive when it needs it. Hoping to get up there and finally use my ticket next year.
The sound of this locomotive made me start smiling from ear to ear, I just love it.
Thanks for putting this together, a lot! It was nice to see and hear her again. I'm an old guy, but once was young. If you Wiki 2102 (which you've probably done) you'll read that in 1968 there was a derailment. I was in the dutch doors with my buddy John as we were coming back into Chicago. I can say that steam trips had a reputation for always being late. Well, that day we were quite close to being on time (first time ever. I was on a 4070 trip in that era that didn't arrive back in until 5 am the Monday morning after) so I have always used the expression concerning this trip that we were "coming in hot". Getting close in to the stations in Chicago there is SO much track work (diamonds, switches, etc.) that even regular passenger trains took it easy. Not that day. My late friend John and I both said we were fast. Well, we hit some diamonds that also had a puzzle switch and things started shaking. John says "what the f* just happened?" I felt the shaking as being in time with the ties going past and I said "we're on the ground!" Good guess. Ahh, to be young again.
I was riding the double header on august 13th and I can tell you it was LOUD and that might be an understatement, that is a huge under statement!!!!!!! My ears were ringing all day but the echos through the mountains and stack talk galore from 2 steam locomotives. It was a day to remember. Oh and the whistles on the 2 steam engines are amazing together!
Love seeing Hyce’s smile practically break his face
RBMN seems like such a class act, those guys took some scrappy Conrail branch lines and turned them into a 40mph mainline with CTC and welded rail. A few years ago, I heard they upgraded their mainline so they could run RDCs at 60, and set up weekly excursion service. There’s videos of them working their old hand-fired Pacific just as hard, the only reason they added diesels on those trains was to make it over the road with the same tonnage. It seems like they restored 2102 just so they could do away with the diesel helpers. Who says modern railroading can’t be fun!
If you ever feel like doing another one of these, I’d recommend Steam Train Video’s clip entitled “425: solo to jim thorpe”. One of my favourite cab clips of all time, watching the crew wrestle a tonnage train up the hill during leaf season. RBMN is no stranger to pushing the limits of their steam power. I’ve gotta get out there someday!
I can’t wait to see the 2102 again in the next 48hrs, my great grandfather was one of the few and honored to run her in time of service and rambles, thanks for the great video
The 4-8-4 was one of my types of steam locomotives it's just awesome to see this one pour out imagine the sounds of big boy would make if they pushed it to the limits
From here in Australia, that was a spectacular sight and your excitement is completely justified! It’s a long way to Pennsylvania from here so thank you for showing it to us.
Sound remains one of the main reasons I'm still in love with steam power. Nothing feels like it hits quite like a northern.
The Reading and Northern Railroad did a fantastic job restoring 2102! I was on her September 1st and it was such a smooth ride. And seeing the Doubleheader with 2102 and 425 was incredible!
Having seen 2102 plenty of times this year, your reaction is basically my reaction to seeing it in person each time. It never ceases to amaze me!
The chain on the back of the cab is also moving left and right.
Hyde. It’s so nice to see a fellow railroader with a true appreciation of the old days. Your enthusiasm is wonderful and I really enjoyed watching this video. I hope to run into you some day at the museum. I’d love to say hi and thank you for keeping Steam alive! Have a blessed Christmas!
Come on by!
@@Hyce777 are you keeping track of 2100s rebuild?
That video right there is the reason why I want to be a steam train operator in a couple of years. Keep up the great work Hyce.
I don't think anyone else has the cohunes to push their asset this hard. And without a diesel backup! Huge props to R&N!
Thanks for your great blow-by-blow commentary on a great engine that’s been so lovingly restored. (Reading is working the crap out of it-and it’s glorious.)
Definitely a great start to my day, Hyce! Thank you.
(PS: I know you have a love/loathe relationship with geared locomotives, but sometime I’d love to see you do a review of some of the little gems at RC&BT working the 9.5% grade 😏)
I’m loving this video, and all the recent content…my favorite UA-camr reacting to my favorite locomotive that just so happens to be a 10 minute drive away from home. Keep up the good work. 👍
I had the opportunity to ride behind it last fall and even 7 cars back listening to her work was amazing. Hearing that for a 5 hour round trip was absolutely fantastic.
Hyce thank you for making this video. I watched the video multiple times myself. Great to get your reaction from it!
I took the day off work to see her take her maiden run. Just the sight of her sitting outside of the steam shop that morning was impressive. They took her north to Tamaqua and picked up some loaded coal hoppers. She never missed a beat on the return trip. If you get the opportunity to venture to see her it’ll be a trip well spent. BTW they are also rebuilding a smaller locomotive as we speak.
2102 is just casually waltzing along with 18 cars. Just...epic. I have probably watched this video a dozen times and it never ceases to make me smile. I can only imagine the noise of one of these hauling something like The Empire State Express or a long heavy freight drag between Omaha and Salt Lake City. It would probably be like a religious ceremony to us railfans. Would love to see Hyce do commentary when UP 3985 and the UP 5511 get up and at 'em back on the mainline, or better yet...let Hyce RUN one of the big engines like 2102, 4014, or 844.
We should have a D&RGW 4-8-4 reconstructed and have Hyce run it on the mainline!
I was riding the train that day it was amazing, it was such a awesome experience. Also Hyce please make more of these of videos
Andy's excursions were 17-19 cars plus the 50-100 coal crs he hauled on test and even revenue runs before the excursions went off. My wife and I were in Jim Thorpe for all the excursions and rode the July 2 event. I've seen this clip many times since it was originally posted but your commentary truly put in perspective what a spectacular accomplishment R&N has to its credit for the restoration and operation of 2102. Every excursion R&N did with 2102 sold out immediately. Thousands of people enjoyed the locomotive whether they be novices or with an understanding of what they were looking at. Young and old, men and women alike: Everyone was thrilled by 2102. It'll be interesting to see what 2102's encore is for 2023.Maybe a double header with 2100? Andy already did double head 2102 with the light pacific 425 in August. What an experience that was. To see and hear them blast out of Port Clinton was like a religious experience. As a 400 mile, Class B railroad, there's plenty of room for 2102 to stretch its legs while still being properly maintained. You couldn't ask for more.
What a great clip, and your enthusiastic commentary was right on. Rarely do we get to see and hear a large steam locomotive working hard as they normally did during the steam era. Thank you it was a real treat.
#2102 Certainly was given the chance to prove what steam engines can truly do!
that sound of the steam engine working like that really is Magical.
Thanks for sharing Mark. Like you said absolutely beautiful sound and all that. I suspect being the engineer on this would be next to heaven; it gave me goosebumps to watch as he pulled that throttle. I specifically like your points about historic usage and authentic sounds. Sounds really add so much authenticity to a modern day recreation/experience. This is why being in the cab is amazing as it is truly an immersive and authentic experience. Please do share more videos like this with your commentary, I learn from you as I watch. Can’t get much better.
Cheers Patrick!
fun fuct, 2102 was a special guest at Cass Scenic Railroad for their greenbrier express in 1971
I only recently discovered your channel and I can tell you definitely love these old machines and the beautiful sounds they make.
I love it when the fireman opens the door and it just blows out the exposure on the camera.
I was on that trip in the 4th car back. That departure from Port Clinton was absolutely amazing! Throughout the entire trip whenever the engine was working it would blast leaves and twigs off the trees with its exhaust. The cleanup crew had a lot of leaves to sweep up in the coaches.
I’ve now officially seen 2102 working like mad for three days. A brief moment during the second iron horse ramble, a full day on the last iron horse ramble, the first fall excursion and more recently the last fall excursion (this Saturday). I can’t wait to see 425 back in action with 2102 or maybe even doing some solo runs cause even for a light Pacfic engine they make 425 run hard and what I love more about RBMN is they do not baby their whistles. They purchased and installed those whistles and they want you to hear ALL of it. I’ve posted clips of 2102 working hard in your server and hopefully soon I get to post 425 clips
God that sound is damn beautiful, would love to hear a standard gauge steam loco work irl, only steam trains I've ever seen irl are like 3 different shays, which also sound cool, but honestly this takes the cake for the combination of a beast of a whistle, and the loco working. I'm now making a Reading 6 Chime for DV, lol Also please do more of these reactions. I think they make both the viewer, and you happy. Hopefully, lol
Despite the awesomeness, trying to film or just see that thing is a madhouse
If you know where to go and what to avoid (Tamaqua), then you should be pretty good
Boy was it ever! I was there for the double header at port Clinton, trying to get out of there was quite the feat!
@@stevenruzicka614 Oh the double-header was bad, but it was an amazing show from the locomotives
@@ITrooper089Productions oh 100% it was worth it! It was my first time chasing a excursion ever so I learned really quick what to do and where to go 😂
@@stevenruzicka614 Oh, well what a way to be introduced to that railroad XD
Goosebumps, smiles and happy tears all the way ❤️❤️❤️ Is there more of this ? 🙏
love seeing your reactions in the video & The Nickel Plate Railroad and the B&O railroad are two amazing railroads from my state up north, love to see your reaction to more train engines.
It's been an amazing few years for the rebirth of big steam. The crew behind 2102 has done an incredible job rebuilding this piece of machinery and they run it as intended with absolute authority. Really great to see and hear. I'm a huge fan of the T1 class. They're not unlike your K-37 #491, both engines are examples of very successfully recycling obsolete 2-8-0s to build modern, up to date, enduring engines.
That is incredible! I watched the video of Reading and Northern 425 last night, and was telling my wife that her whistle is what a train should sound like. Nothing better than steam!
Wow, I am so glad I found your channel! I went to the source you used and checked out many of their awesome quality sound videos of several real hard working steam engines! Nothing is better than seeing and HEARING them hard at work!
I’m glad you love the video of the Reading “2102.” I just want you to know my grandfather was one of the original men who built the steam engine at Reading. He was a machinist for the company. His name is Harold Ermold aka “ Ducky.” That is a beautiful engine!
I think that one of the things that make me so interested in steam engines is the rhythmic sound the exhaust makes. I really enjoy music, and just hearing the consistent in time chuffs absolutely makes my brain happy
Having seen the 2102 in person now, doing what she does best, I can tell you that any videos you can find here on UA-cam don't convey just how ear shatteringly loud this engine is when she goes past. It's really a special experience
I can only imagine.
I was lucky enough to chase 2102's first tonnage train back in April, 50 empty coal hoppers, about the same weight as the train seen here. Climbing the grade North of Tamaqua was incredible. But possibly the best part was climbing the grade out of Jim Thorpe on the return trip, it had started to rain and she was struggling and slipping. The crew ended up having to kick in the booster engine. Talk about a lokie that is absolutely maxed out!
I highly recommend taking a trip out to Eastern PA someday. Not only to see 2102, but also the other 6 or 7 steam operations within 2 hours of it.
Loved this type of video, so more please!
At the beginning when you were noticing the cab hop, I was noticing that fire coming alive through the vent holes. It went dark to sun in no time.
I’ve always liked trains, along with a particular interest in the NYC subway system (which fascinates me the most), but never really got into it as a hobby. I delved into railfan UA-cam recently and THIS is the first video that really gave me a glimpse of what people are so passionate about with these steam engines. It may be built by man, but that thing looks and sounds like a force of nature.
You have to hear both R&N engines thunder up the Lehigh River gorge.
There have been a couple of videos of the 611 working hard pulling a lot of cars through the Virginian mountains. Doesn't sound nearly like the 2102 (or even their 425 for that matter), but still cool. However, I have never heard an engine who's exhaust beat is as crisp as the Frisco 1522. Sounds like shotgun blasts. I so wish I'd gotten to see that engine run in person.
Hyce, your enthusiasm is positively infectious! I've only heard a couple steam engines l've in my time and this I different. Balls to the wall.
Ah, 2102. Glad I got to ride behind her in July with my grandfather. It's something I'll never forget. Also, as a side note, I would definitely recommend watching the video of 2102 hauling a 50-car hopper train.
It's a sound only railfans understand and love! Wish we had steam engines here in Greece. Great video as always!
I had the pleasure of riding behind the 2102 on July 2nd-and of course posted some on board footage from the coach on my channel-but that aside, there is no experience like hearing and seeing the 2102 in person. I’ve been on lots of steam trips and I’ve never experienced anything like it; it’s definitely a must-see. There were hundreds, if not thousands, chasing the train from Outer Reading to Jim Thorpe, and the railroad police were at almost every crossing. This footage and your commentary is great! Love all your videos.
Trevor
We also roade the July 2nd trip; first time behind 2102 since the mid 80s. Glad we're both still around.
Great video. As a train nut from birth and a lifelong mechanic I can truly appreciate what you put out ! It makes me happy to see a young guy like yourself so immersed in steam !
Before I drop dead I really want to see the UP Big Boy in operation. My daughter goes to the University of Scranton and I always stop by Steamtown. I’m a Mopar guy but you have a beautiful GTO ! and you drive it the way it was meant to be driven! Keep up the good work you really deserve an attaboy :)
Hey Hyce, i have watched this at least ten time's and the hair's on my neck rise each time i watch, sound right up.
I literally had tears in my eyes. That train is MAJESTIC!
Hyce, thank you for sharing this. I love this locomotive. I went on an excursion pulled by her from Temple PA to Hamburg PA before her last run in 1991. I later saw her in the roundhouse at Steamtown USA.. The first time I saw her I saw in awe.
I never noticed this as much before I started watching this channel, and Hyce's videos from inside the cab dealing with the fire, but you can see the light of the fire through the fire door pulsing with each beat of the exhaust as the locomotive is accelerating out of the yard as each chuff pulls more air through the firebed. Amazing to see. It really is a living breathing machine.
This engineer is the man. The look on his face the entire time is enough said. Beautiful thing!
Just wanted to say your passion/love of trains and the history that surrounds them is awesome. I started watching you and kAN play Railroads Online the other day. All the fun facts and history you bring up is very interesting. I finally understand why the train community is so enthusiastic about trains. Any recommendations on how to get started in trains and the history surrounding them (there is so much out there)? I plan to make a trip to a train museum not to far away from me to get an in-person look at things.
honestly just search and learn find people and ask questions
me personaly i have loved them since im a kid but not a day goes by i don't learn more
it's a nonstop road to learning
ask question, ind people with the same interest, socialize, and live.
with so many differances between British American and hell even south african and idian steam
theres no such thing as too much
have fun and if you want to get into the hobby modle trains are out there and there is live steam
real pressure vessels pounding the line in just a smaller scale
@@Cloud_Shire_82 Good advice, thank you.
There's so much info out there - just start looking around! Try and find out what railroads ran around your part of the world - and start researching. It can be incredibly neat. That, and feel free to ask questions!
@@Hyce777 what is your favorite steam locomotive that was built outside of the US? Mine is kind of a tossup. It’s either the Flying Scotsman or Mallard the worlds fastest steam locomotive or Internet, search steam locomotive, 4498 Sir Nigel Gresley or Boone and scenic Valley JS 8419
That was pretty nifty. Although a heavy DC6 with all 4 engines wide open tryijg to gain air speed while in ground effect sounds pretty awesome too.
I'd wager that's badass as well!
I read an account once feom a railroad photographer who caught SP&S 700 going over the mountains in Montana. It so happens that the crew that day decided to run the diesel in notch 2 and give 700 as much throttle as the track would hold. She ground down to 12 miles per hour, full cutoff. The photographer, who had never been impressed with steam, said that it sounded like the train was fueled by howitzer artillery. None of that "chuffa chuffa," but "BANG BANG BANG" that you felt in the ground. I can't tell you how much I wish I could see and hear that.
I’m pretty sure this is from the Labour Day Iron Horse Ramble, which was the last one for this year. I happened to be one of the many people in the crowd at Port Clinton, and am fortunate enough to live close by. Those guys are incredible with the steam engine, and it never fails to be an incredible experience watching them fly out of Port Clinton!!
Reading Blue Mountain and Northern Railroad knows how fans can be made happy
100%, and so does the Cuyahoga Valley scenic railroad in Ohio when they do steam in the valley with the NKP 765…they put as many passenger cars on the consist as possible and even dead head a diesel at the end as added weight to make the engine work harder and put on a fantastic show for the rail fans
I got to ride behind her AND 425 when they doubleheaded back in August! The most beautiful thing I have ever experienced!
This is probably the first video that I watched on your channel, and it's nostalgic, this is when I met you after I subscribed to you. And this is one of my favorite video on your channel honestly RBMN railroad did amazing job restoring 2102 into services for real.
I need to go see that engine... :)
@@Hyce777 Same I love big 4-8-4 northerns like 2102 and atsf 2926, I gotta see them :)
steam engines are a very unique blend of grace and violence that speaks to my soul on a visceral level
The yellow accents on the front just makes it perfect, beautiful engine, great sound👌
Yes! It's the best sound ever! Full throttle, up grade, 6-chime, and 19 car consist... it's train Heaven. ☺
I can tell that he wants to nerd out soooooo bad for this 4-8-4 steam locomotive.
The wife and I go to Rollag steam show in Minnesota every year. If you like steam, and the sounds, it's worth a visit. Thanks for the shows Hyce.
Gotta love a big northern. One of my favourite engines is the NZR Ka class, also a northern but not quite as big as this one being for 3 foot 6 inch gauge. I've never gotten to see one run in person but hopefully will now 942 is back in the north island.
2:20 the guy in the black shirt and gray shorts, that was me. I was there
The only other time I saw a 4-8-4 Northern work this hard is when UP 844 helped a stalled freight train over a hill.
Absolutely gorgeous locomotive. Please more of this!!
Very nice video Mark I really love the sound and wish we could see this more but I don’t think we will. Hope you do more and I look forward to seeing more ideas from here.
The sounds out of that reading engine utterly amazing blasts of steam and smoke utter definition of Class 37 thrash and so great ryrhem in piston brings me so much joy
Hyce, your giddy response to this video, and steam engines is 100% correct! Anyone who says otherwise or doesn't respond that way is WRONG!
Seeing a steam engine is impressive. Seeing one run at all is amazing. Seeing one opened up to the stops defies words!
Excellent video, and on point with the play by play!
Just found you and enjoying your vids greatly!!!
Hyce i think the charm of the train is magic because there are no dislikes on this video when i am seeing it, THIS IS AWSOME!
OUTSTANDING!!! And thank you, Hyce and Steam Train Videos
I love it when people nerd-out about their passion!
I'm speechless.. ❤❤❤❤ To have been there to see this in person would have been one of the most amazing things my 50 year old had ever seen, ears had ever heard!! ❤❤❤
I liked the video and even more than that, how tickled you are by it. I do like watching the old machinery do it's thing regardless if it's working hard or just out stretching its legs. Thanks for sharing.
