Reading and Northern 2102: The Autumn Anthracite Voyager
When the leaves begin to change and the temperature starts to drop, people from all over flock to the quaint town of Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. The town offers many attractions, being a very famous town during the turn of the century. The town now serves a big part in the tourist industry. Restaurants, water rafting during the summer months, train rides into the scenic Lehigh Gorge. But the biggest problem Jim Thorpe is facing now is the factor of social media. People posting about the town in mass, and every year the amount of people who visit grows substantially. Traffic being one of the biggest issues in town, with only one light to direct three intercepting roads, along with the mass of people who flock the town. But there's one way to combat the traffic situation, and to arrive in style. "Take a ride on the Reading!" The Reading and Northern Railroad offers multiple trips every fall season from Reading Outer Station in Reading, Pennsylvania to Jim Thorpe. Other trains also depart from the neighboring town of Pottsville, and the Northwest town on the line, Pittston. The RBMN takes pride in their Reading to Jim Thorpe train, using only the most appropriate motive power for the trip. The #2102 is an Ex-Reading T-1 4-8-4 steam locomotive, which was rebuilt from a 2-8-0 I10SA steam locomotive right after the start of World War 2. Now, she serves the RBMN well, hauling numerous excursions since her return to steam in 2022, following a 30 year restoration effort. Let's follow the 2102 as she charges her way on her "Autumn Anthracite Voyage."
