Reading 2102 Excursion - Passenger Video | Steam Locomotive Excursion
Here is a collection of videos from my last trip on the amazing Reading & Northern Railroad. Reading 2102 never fails to put on a show, just the same as I remember her in the days of the old BM&R. My best friend Andre and I jockeyed for the window seat the whole trip back from Nesquehoning, and these are my videos. No trip is complete without cinders on your arm, ash in your eyes, and wonderful memories to see you through until the next one!

Local Freight Action on the Reading & Lehigh | N-scale Model Railroad
มุมมอง 15716 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Railfans got a treat today, as they were able to watch one of the R&L's newly arrived RS-3s bring a short freight transfer into Reading from Allentown Yard. All the while, in the background, big N-1a Mallet No. 1829 completed its turn on the reversing loop at the east end of the yard complex. This is from about August, 2024, as the reconstruction of the layout commences! #nscale #modelrail #mod...

A short collection of videos shows Reading and Lehigh No. 1829, a 2-8-8-2 Mallet, hauling a string of empty coal hoppers as its descends from Allentown to Reading. 1829 was one of two Reading N1s to receive a longer tender after the merger, for experimental long-haul service, on the merged railroad between the Reading RR and Lehigh Valley RR. These videos are from the previous version of my lay...
A PRR Steam-powered Coal Drag on the Reading & Lehigh | N-scale Model Railroad

Intrepid railfans were able to get some interesting video of a long coal-drag on a run-through towards Allentown Yard. But this was no ordinary drag on R&L trackage - it was Pennsy powered! An M1 Mountain lead the consist, with a K4 in freight service, pushing from behind. The video captures the train as it pushes past the abandoned mine-spur, and again as it ascends the East Penn Grade! - - - ...

Moving Coal on the Reading & Lehigh | N-scale Model Railroad

This video is from the OLD configuration of the layout, before drastic improvements were made! Here we see a coal train being made up behind a pair of Alco FA-1s, by a yard switcher (which HAS been relettered for the merged railroad). In the old-version of the layout, trains had to back out on the mainline before proceeding east to Allentown. The alignment was....not good! The RS-3 was repainte...

Passengers will arrive, but not necessarily on time - or so goes the motto of the passenger division of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.

A double-header leaves the yard with a long-string of coal cars behind. A boxcar is sitting in the middle of the consist, spaced very precisely, because it is loaded with dynamite for the mine! This way, if something happens, the engine crews and the caboose crew are - somewhat - protected! While the consist passes, a big Mallet chuffs impatiently for the green to go.

I have lots of gaps in the ties or sleepers of the track on my layout.

    At 00:45 and 01:55, sits my grandmother: Helen N. von Klemmer, nee Grookett - at this time, Head Nurse of the Community General Hospital in Reading, Pa. This woman was the Head of our Family, and taught my most of what I know. She helped me to appreciate history, and to love trains (helped, of course, by my grandfather, mother, and father, railfans all!). I remember when she would take me into Reading, to the hospital to get her paycheck, and we would sit at the cut that went right past the ER (behind the old Ambulance building) and watch then-Conrail trains come and go. She would lament that in her time, she saw Reading steam move more tonnage, far faster! I have a few memory flashes of this fabulous weekend: we were all there, and we had such fun. We went to the Shops and saw the night photography of the 2102 coming out from the place of its birth, backlit by the Shops' lights - you could easily believe it was 1948. The 425 sat there as well, with a sleek Tuscan red PRR E-8 nearby. Sadly, my father would be dead in 2 years, and my grandfather in 3. I lost Nan a few years ago. Why do I like trains? Because they are more than steam and steel, moving from place to place. They are living connections that transcend time, and allow to remember the friends and family we watch them with. In their smoky innards live those memories, which call forth with the sounding of the whistle. These fire breathing beats carry our memories with the freight and passengers they haul. Bless the Reading, and the Reading and Northern for allowing 2102 to live again. - A Reading Railfan
