- Welcome to the Reading and Northern’s Iron Horse Ramble Double Header event! This event hasn’t happened since 1988, Featuring the RBMNs beautifully restored Reading T1!
This steam adventure occurred on August 13th, 2022 - Departing Reading Outer Station at 9:00am and to arrive in Jim Thorpe PA.
We were only able to film at a handful of locations due to the massive crowd of fellow rail fans and local traffic infrastructure not intended for high density traffic.
Enjoy!
Happy Railroading!

Don't get me wrong, I love our best friends from the British empire. But this right here is exactly why Americans team is so much more fun to watch and enjoy. It is the sound! Those ghostly whistles, screaming defiance against the relentless March of time. They stir the passions of the soul, intern every grown man into a boy again.
Ps is in coach 308. I was there the last time these locomotives double headed, 34 years ago as I write this post. This was truly a magical day!
Definitely agree with ya there! That single chime is definitely a ghostly sound, I’m glad they kept both whistles on her. That’s amazing how that coach was there as well! 🚂💨
One interesting difference between British and American steam is how small British steam locomotives are compared to American ones. Look at a photo of a British engine (like the Flying Scotsman) next to an American one and the difference jumps right out at you.
There were reasons of course, British engines had to operate though much tighter clearances than the American ones did and of course in most cases operated over much shorter distances. And the freight trains weren't (and still aren't) as long.
What I wouldn't give to see this consist barreling thru my town as a child! Thanks Nick!
Thanks so much for watching!
To the poster of the video, I love your energy. You had some very unique shots, keep up the excellent work!
Thanks so much for watching! We have a few more chase adventures left this summer 👍🏻🚂💨
That's epic, these two double head a train for a second time since 1987-88. Well done!
Thanks so much! I saw an old video of that. 425 was all black
@@NixCrossing Yes, I saw a video of 425 before it was blue, it was definitely black on the ex-BM&R Railroad! At least I got to ride behind her on the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railroad once last year on the 4th of July when it is still currently in it’s blue scheme as of today! It was fun!
Loved it! Also liked that different variation on that crossing gate shot. Wish I was able to chase it as well but this is better. You did all the work for me haha.
Thanks so much! Looks like you all had fun at the Wye especially catching the turn around, F Units and the SD50s!
Awesome loved the young lad dancing to the locomotives passing. Reminds me of when I went to strasburg as a child
Thanks so much for watching! Yeah, I didn’t see that guy until I edited the video. We were all laser focused on the train. I’m sure I would be doing the same thing at their age.
That little one's bound to be a steam freak for life after this!
Great Video looks like there where a lot of railfans today those locomotives are awesome Great work thank you for sharing your day with those of us that couldn't be there
Thanks so much for watching! Man it had a crazy turnout with us rail fans. 425 is still my favorite 🚂💨
Hey Nick nice catch on these beautiful locomotives 2102 and 425 double header for 2022 iron horse ramble they look good double heading
Thanks so much!
That 2102 is a gorgeous locomotive - thanx for this upload Nick!
Thanks so much for watching! I think I need a 2102 🤔
@@NixCrossing 🙂
I'm glad I chased 2102 when I did, but this would've been a spectacular sight.
The double header brought in a crazy amount of traffic but I’m so glad we were able to catch it in most of the planned spots
Thanks for sharing
Very nice 🚂❤️😎👍
Thanks so much for watching!
what a great video! thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for watching! 🚂💨
What an awesome day chasing an awesome train!! 🚂🚂So glad you and Nikki could join me on the adventure!! I'm sorry we missed it at a few of the planned spots, but I've heard a lot of folks saying that between the train's speed and the crazy traffic, they were having a tough time catching it too. I still think we got some great locations, and it was great seeing the views you got. Nikki did a great job with some of the filming too. Hope we get to do it again someday!!
Great day filming out there! Thanks so much for helping with all of the locations and schedules. She helped a lot with those spontaneous shots lol
@@NixCrossing it's my pleasure! So glad you could both come. The route covers a larger area than most locomotive chases, so having knowledge of the area like I do really helps.
I can’t wait to catch her someday soon!
Oh cool, the video's back! First it was there, then it wasn't, now it is! 😃
Thanks for bringing us along Nick! Man, I could smell the coal smoke! And it looks like everyone was having a good time!
Andy Muller's working overtime creating a new generation of "Steam Freaks," isn't he? God bless him!
Thanks so much for watching! The coal smelled fantastic! That day was actually his birthday and was riding in his Black diamond car. Can’t wait to see what other steam projects they decide to start
@@NixCrossing Me neither, but as I understand it after this season 425's going to be down for its 1480 hour inspection (It's that amount of run time or 15 years, whatever comes first.) so I'd guess the R&N guys are going to be preoccupied with 425 for however long that takes. If other steam projects are planned (And I can think of a few!) they're going to have to be put on hold.
@@wayneantoniazzi2706 she’ll be back ASAP, that’s a beautiful steam engine that’s the heart of the RN. I’m hoping it’s back for the fall excursions.
@@NixCrossing I'm hoping that gorgeous "Imitation Blue Comet" isn't out of action long either. They take good care of it so I'd guess any problems they find will be minor ones.
Wicked awesome great video

Awesomeness !!!!!!!!!!
🚂🚃❤️👍😎
Thanks so much!
Awesome vid,Nick. Thx
Thanks so much for watching! 🚂💨
Very nice video, LIKE .
Awesome video
Thanks so much!
Thanks Nick. Unfortunately I wasn't able to see it in person. I had to help run our tractor show in Kutztown.
Thanks so much for watching! No worries, they are actually running a revenue freight train today (8/19/22)
@@NixCrossing Yes I'm planning to see it. But it's not the double header with my favorite 425. Lol
Great action Nick!
Thanks so much!
This is the best!
Thanks so much!
Same Great Video with Now Great Quality!!!
Thanks so much! TH-cam took forever to render the HD
Great Video Nick! Wish I was there to enjoy the steam day. If there is another double-header day, I may fly from AZ to PA for the event. The F Units are nice. After seeing them last month in Jim Thorpe, I just had to place my order for the Lionel Reading and Northern F Units to arrive, hopefully, by years end. Thanks again for sharing your video.
Thanks so much for watching! Definitely recommend spending a few days up here to enjoy all the steam of PA and the Western Maryland of course. Those Lionel ones look fantastic!
I love this event or excursion
Thanks so much! 🚂💨 me too!
@@NixCrossing I wish I was there seeing it and filming it but I want there
Awesome 😎
Thanks so much!
Very cool! What type of whistle do they use, 2 6-chimes? Looks like an Illinois Central dome car in the mix? I love the cycling of the bell on 2102. Thanks for posting this.
Thanks so much for watching! I believe 2102 is a Reading 6 Chime and 425 is a Southern Pacific 6 Chime. The one dome car that’s red is an Ex Milwaukee Road Hiawatha - the other is Ex Santa Fe.
@@NixCrossing they both had reading 6 chimes i think
@@OldIronVideo I think the SP whistle is really close , but they might have switched er out
@@NixCrossing I heard a sp 6 chime today at Strasburg and it is way different then what I heard on 425, 425 had a differently tuned reading 6
@@OldIronVideo I think when I filmed her in the fall they had the SP on. I just listened back. Those guys have whistle arsenals haha Strasburg has a huge collection as well.
One of the owners of Reading 2102 Bill Benson passed away last year. He was also the founder of Right of Way Industries and helped restore Reading 2101 and the Freedom Train in the 70s. Also he was good friends with Richard Kughn. Thinking of doing a video of that Right of Way car of mine and dedicating it to him.
0:05 Those are the most bazaar looking crossing lights I’ve ever seen it looks like something that came off traffic signals I wonder what is the name of the company who makes those lights on those crossing gate signals
They might be original to the old Reading line, living antiques lol
@@NixCrossing You may be right that is pretty remarkable

Fancy camera angle!
Thanks so much!
The first part reminds me of this
