Reading & Northern T1 2102: Fall Foliage Express 2024
Показать описание
On Sunday, October 5th, Reading&Northern ran their first fall foliage trip for the 2024 season. We had a wonderful time! 2102 performed great all the way up and down the mountain!
This whistle is Steve Gilbert’s Reading 6 chime. It’s never been on 425 either. Although I’d like to hear it on 425 lower boiler pressure just once. It’s the same whistle 2102 wore in the 1985 Rambles, the 1988 Harrisburg trip, the Gettysburg trip, Railfan weekend 3, the Lansdale trips, and several trips in 1991. Steve’s been a R&N employee for some time and will be retiring this yr. If you ever have ridden the Shay @ Rough and Tumble it’s been on there many times as well. Steve is also a founding member of RCT&HS, a past president many times, and longtime trustee of the same.

0:37 Her new Reading 6 chime sounds particularly great in this shot. On full blast, it plays a gorgeous tune.

Excellent coverage of 2102 in action. Always a Class 1 Show from Reading and Northern railroad. Best steam operations in the east.

Glad to see more reconditioned coaches! They repaint at an incredible rate.

Great video. I was also out that day too. The different 6 chime was a nice surprise for sure

Wow, 2102 wearing 425’s Reading 6 Chime? That voice reminds of the 425, and speaking of which, I hope 425 comes back from her 1472 Day Inspection!
