Yeah, cool restoration, but a new steam engine called the t1 trust is being constructed as we speak
❤🎉😂
❤😂🎉
Beautiful -Just a Beautiful Locomotive!!
Check out the 1225 in owosso michigan
Seeing that locomotive has been on my bucket list since it was restored. Not only does it look beautiful, but it has one of the best whistles of all time.
Someone likes trains.
@@Rose-yx6jqi didn't understand why people liked trains until i saw a corvette Montecarlo parked outsiked my work and literally everybody including the boss went outside to look it and take photos
@@federicorampin3300you saw a car and understood why people like trains? Weird leap, but good that you got there.
@@federicorampin3300a corvette or Monte Carlo they were 2 separate cars

Friggin love 2102. A literal chad of an engine. Crazy to think 2102 and her sisters literally ran right by where I lived and grew up (The now torn apart Perk Branch 5 min from my home was one of the 1st branches to be upgraded for the T1s)

I’ve seen some of your videos before I have to say congratulations on the good work!
I love you Thunderbolt 1000 siren productions!
YOOO THUNDERBOLT WSGGG
The legend has spoken
A beauty!!! So glad to see the love and enthusiasm for these vintage giants is still strong!!!
I’ve lived near port Clinton pretty much my entire life. When I was a little kid I was obsessed with steam engines and my grandfather would take me to the port Clinton station so I could be around some of the locomotives because I what little kid didn’t think trains where cool😂We walked down some of the tracks occasionally to where they used to store 2102 and he would lift me up to the windows so I could look in and see the sleeping giant. Now all these years later, he and I got to enjoy our first ride on the beast during the fall foliage excursion last year. What a machine!!
I'm so glad to see this locomotive still running. 😅 It is so beautiful. I love steam engines. ❤
Going on the reading rambles this Saturday! Super stoked for it!
Seen a video of it running from the cab. They keep that firebox about the same temperature as the surface of the sun
Same temperature as the surface of a low-end red dwarf would be (barely) possible, but same temperature as the surface of the Sun, even if you could make the firebox out of materials that could take it, would prevent combustion from occurring until the temperature went down.
The sun's quite a lot hotter
@Lucius_Chiaraviglio apparently you missed my sarcasm. In the videos the firebox is just glowing red. Like it's really hot
@@cartler you missed my sarcasm. I was saying that if you watch an engine cab video, the firebox is just a glowing flame. It's really hot
@@racestephenson4405 Sarcasm . . . okay, I can go along with that.
Real Americans believe in steam
So freaking true.
And pollution
@@I_Love_sarcasm oh hey, a liberal.
Original restoration done in Reading shops leased from Conrail by the Reading Company Technocal Society. I was a member at that time.. our crew was working on restoia GP30 in those shops at the same time. I was alos on the original ramble with the 2102 from Reading PA to Jim Thorpe Pa with a turn in Scranton. On the way back at night..... About 1/2 hr from reaching Reading the engine lost steam leaving the enti consist stranded and powerless on Conrails mainline. Had to be rescued by Contail to clrar the main. Turns out the water fill in Jim Thorpe by a local fire company had floride in it which foamed in the boiler causing loss of pressure stranding the locomotive. Got home 6 hrs late.
Rode behind it and it’s running mate 425. That excursion was the highlight of that year
All that smoke and steam! I love it. ❤
What a beautiful piece of history and machinery
That is an absolutely beautiful engine. When I imagine and picture the golden age of steam locomotives it's this in its greatest form.
Probably my first conscious memory was at maybe 3 years old (I'm now 84)...coming at me head on was a laboring steam locomotive enshrouded with swirling clouds of white steam..this would have been in 1941-42..I was standing in probably my mother's lap in a car approaching the oncoming train off to the right close to the road we were driving..I was absolutely awed , and I can still clearly remember the powerful image of the engine bearing down on us like looking at a photograph.
Nearly 100 years and still the most reliable train in America.
That's really quite sad tbh
@@latoshi3671not really
@@latoshi3671no not really it’s fucking badass
@@kota617 in my opinion technological stagnation isn't cool but whatever
@@latoshi3671 fuck your opinion
Definitely the best loco to ride behind
My grandfather worked for the Reading. He started in 1914 at the Rutherford Pa. Yard. When it was called the P&R. He retired in 1964 with 50 years service. I would love to see it come up the N/S Harrisburg East Line again but I don't think that will ever happen. I did have the opportunity to chase it last year. What an awesome locomotive. My father took as a young boy to see the steam locomotives on that line but I was to young at that time to remember them. Nice video you made of this historic locomotive.
Now that's a pretty steam engine, very clean lines...
Fun fact: steam engines aren't rolling coal all the time. Its just for photographers.
?? I’m dumb dumb brain and have 0 clue what you mean
@@featherdabirb All the black smoke they put out is not a normal operating thing, it's done for show for photo-ops because it's kind of what people expect of a steam engine.
Check out the video "Why do USA steam trains make smoke, but UK ones don't?" for an explanation.
@@rwill156 ah I heared that they normaly want all white smoke
Or a bad fireman
@@featherdabirb not even white, a proper firing cycle will produce clear smoke
I rode on the double header with 2102 and 425! It was amazing!
The Reading rebuilt it into a really beautiful, fast, powerful engine. Kudos on the amazing restoration.
I LOVE that locomotive!❤
As a little boy, I rode behind her on that excursion around the Horseshoe Curve in ‘77! I remember driving across the Smithfield Street Bridge in Pittsburgh to get on board at the old P&LE station. Great plumes of dark smoke puffed up from beneath the bridge like a dragon’s breath. She was massive, regal, & beautiful.
You can’t imagine my joy at the news she was being restored! I rode behind her doubleheader with 425 and again this past October with my family. 2102 is just as beautiful & awe-inspiring as she was when I was a little boy taking my very first real train ride. 😊 I hope she runs for many more decades to come.
That train looks cool where can I see it or if there is a cab tour of the engine to ride with the engineers that would be cool
What a piece is art
Absolutely stunning machine, remarkably gorgeous.

narrow gauge gang 💪
smol (nvm i was thinking of a different train 😂)
@@pancakefish yesss
Chased it twice, got to ride it this month on the last Rambles of the year from the newly opened Nesquehoning station to Pittston and back a whole day trip. Sat in the front car right behind the generator car. Got covered in coal but man was it fun. RBM&N and the 2102 put on the best excursion I've been on by far. Would recommend it to anyone who loves truly powerful classic steam.
Road once before restoration and twice since! My favorite operating steam locomotive!
I’m so happy we are preserving steam.
I live and work I. JIM THORPE.i see it quite often..Beautiful machine.
Long live those reading railroad memories!!!! I happen to be in Reading Pa!!!!!!!!
That’s a beautiful loco
My favorite memories was visiting my grandparents home in Southport ny. There was a roundhouse just a few streets away. At nite I could hear the big boys whistling from PA to Elmira. My best memories ❤
These things are just so beautiful. I wish they still made trains that look like that
Interesting things to note: color of the smoke indicating efficiency.
In the older shots in the engine is billowing a thick black smoke full of carbon from incomplete combustion (same as "roll coal" exhaust in tucks) as Engineers didn't worry about it as much back then. In the new shots the smoke is white indicating a more efficient and complete combustion from the engineers!
Bonus fact: in the very first shot you can see white smoke coming from the rear of the engine but not the stack, that's because it's actually steam being released from the safety blow off. When the engine is not in open the throttle the steam is not going to the Pistons then exhausting through the stack. That pressure exhausts at the rear of the boiler through a safety relief vent when it's not being sent to positions
That's not the engineers job! The fireman takes care of this!
Great engine! I was on it a few times.
That locomotive is simply beautiful
Thats my favourite locomotive ever
2102 is a ferocious doberman of a steam engine, the most fearsome of them all. What a beauty.
Thank you. Beautiful awesome machine.
Bucket list!!! I’ll need to make 2 vacations. One west and one east. Gotta a whole list of live steam to see!
The amount of engineering and machining skills that went into the manufacturing of this locomotive is astounding. It’s amazing to me that there people still around that are qualified to rebuild these.
Really? Your amazed that we still have smart folks in this country? When did we outsource smarts? Those skills are nessacery everywhere!
Beautiful mechanical beast she is indeed!!!
Quite a beauty. Great job restorers!
Steam locomotive engines always put a smile in my face❤❤❤
I rode it back in the days of Chessie Steam Special.
My dad worked@ Baldwin in Eddystone, PA until they closed in 1971.
Took a fall excursion behind this masterpiece. Experienced a smooth pleasant ride. She puts out some awesome tunes coming down the tracks.
Mechanical beauty. Would love to hear her operating. What a sound.
I would love to keep that near century old choo choo alive and working so generations can experience how steam changed the world!
Andy Muller definitely knows how to run a railroad.
Why do steam trains and phonk go together so well. I LOVE IT
Beautiful - Just a Beautiful Locomotive!!
Boomer here. As a child, I was behind 2102 on an Iron Horse Ramble... 2124, 2100 too. My dad was quite the steam train guy, as was his brothers. I think I have a 45 rpm vinyl of 2124.
Ive been on the Reading Fall Fooilage passenger train ride, sadly I rid 1 year before this beauty was restored but hopefully will be able to go ride her this upcoming year
I remember the first time I saw that. Being a Reading born rail fan/history nut I love steam locomotives a lot because of the history they hold.
I got to ride behind it in what was probably 1990, or maybe 1989. My grandfather worked for the Reading Railroad when 2102 was still being used in regular service. I also remember sitting in the cab of 2102 as a child. I was probably 3-4 years old.
Im a simple man, i see old steam engines....i thumbs up
It looks so beautiful
Beautiful - Just a Beautiful Locomotive?!
Visited the Port Clinton Headquarters of the Reading & Northern today with my 7 year old grandson who eats, sleeps & thinks about trains 24x7. He has his own subscription to Trains magazine. We also train watch & chase all we can. We’ve chased the doubleheader of 2102 & 425 and ridden behind 425 Santa Train. The R&N folks are very train fan friendly. We toured the Steam Shop where they are overhauling #425 their Blue Pacific and they were shining & oiling T-1 2102 for a Saturday Ramble. My Grandson was invited to go into the cab of 2102. He knew most of the controls and impressed the machinists who took us up to the cab. We also watched a female shop machinist / Mechanic custom make a part for the 425 while a man was inside the firebox welding something. Check the schedule but this Saturday is a good time to see the gorgeous 2120 run from Reading thru Port Clinton, Tamaqua and on to Jim Thorpe. It’s so impressive to be near the tracks when it roars through. They’ll put on a show and blow some serious smoke 💨 when there are crowds of photographers and just enthusiasts watching. R&N lead by Andy Muller is a national treasure.
That’s an amazing story. Sounds like your kid had a great time! I was hoping to go to the R&N this Saturday, but I don’t think it’s going to work out. Hopefully I’ll be able to make it to the September ramble instead.
THAT is so AWESOME & FANTASTIC!!!
Gorgeous looking loco
My Dad was a engineer for the Reading Railroad and he took me for many trips 😊❤
it's so cool these train's are still around.
I live in the area it operates! Rode it, took video of it coming into town, it's a nice experience!
I’m gonna be on 2102 for this year’s Iron Horse Rambles on September 2nd. I loved when 2102 has that doubleheader with 425? Wish I could’ve been there.
Always impressed by the way you make the beginning and end of the videos sync up so perfectly
Love seen these old trains
What great news to see these magnificent beasts ( meant in a nice way) running on the tracks again.
I am so glad that the old locomotives are still being taken care of
Looks beautiful!!
Work of art.
Looks very powerful.
I haven't ridden a train pulled by this locomotive, but followed its progress in articles in Railfan and Railroad magazine to which I have subscribed since the 1980s.
So happy to see another steam engine on the rails 💪🏼💪🏼
Maaaaaan that thing is BEAUTIFUL
I wish i could see and hear that train in person...😊
Such a Beautiful Train 🚆 Engine ! Glad to see they are keeping some of the beautiful Train history in tact!❤😵😵😃😃😀😀
Coming up on a century old. Deserves a party!
I APPROVE OF THE USE OF THIS
"MUSICAL CHOICE"....EVEN THOUGH I SWORE TO UNALIVE MYSELF IF I EVER HEARD IT AGAIN😂😂😂😂😂😂
More restore more . MAGNIFICENT 🤞🏾👍🏾👊🏾🙏🏾.
Soo glad this , I'm sure a lot of people spent a lot of time and money on this, just want to say thanks, and well done .
That's a beautiful beast!
I've not been on it, but I sure would like to take a ride on a train like that!!🇺🇸
That is one sweet looking Locomotive.
Really beautiful. I would love to see it.
My love for trains is coming backIt's been quite a while since I have watched this content
I'm glad those pop sounds are there to annoy the hell out of us.
That’s an impressive career history!
It's good to see that at least some of these massive iron horses are still alive and kicking to this day.
These old trains always look the best imo. From this to the Flying Scotsman to the Big Boy they have such good looks that modern trains just don't have.
I rode behind her on the Blue Mountain and Reading between Temple and South Hamburg. The railroad only became known as the Reading, Blue Mountain and Northern recently. I chased and rode behind her upon her return to the high iron last year. Fans of 2102 were waiting with anxious breath for her return since she sat apart in the roundhouse at Steamtown.
She was hanging around my town from about 2007 until 2010 or 2011, I think.
Our local short line had some sort of plan to use her to pull excursions and even freight runs, but she just sat on a siding in our local county port grounds. Thankfully she didn’t end up collecting tumbleweeds for too long.
THAT is just too cool! Just LOOK at that thing its an honor to the bygone era that got all of where we are today.
Steam locomotives are just so badass
Where is it today ?
Where does it run ?
I’d like to see it .
Nothing are like these I so miss the locomotive that charleston wv had back in the 80s miss it so ❤❤🎉
A beautiful beast!
