Reading 2102: Thundering Through the Mountains
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ธ.ค. 2023
- Throughout the 2022 and 2023 operating seasons, the Reading & Northern operated their iconic Reading T-1 number 2102 on a variety of Iron Horse Ramble and Fall Foliage Excursions. These trips ran between Reading, Pennsylvania and Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. Over the course of the 60-mile journey, the train runs over former Reading Company and former Central Railroad of New Jersey trackage. With no diesel assist and a long train ranging anywhere from 15 to 18 cars in length, these excursions take passengers back in time to the bygone era of steam. A large portion of the excursion traverses the same route 2102 and the other T-1s ran on during many of the Reading Company's Iron Horse Rambles.
Equipped with a Reading Hooter and a Reading 6 Chime, complemented by the locomotive's extremely loud exhaust, 2102 put on a fantastic performance and provides passengers and railfans with the opportunity to hear how the T-1s would have sounded in excursion service over 60 years ago. So sit back, relax, and enjoy watching and listening to 2102 thunder through the mountains of Pennsylvania on some of the best steam excursions in the country.
This video serves as a preview for a long, comprehensive video of 2102 filmed over the course of several years.
This video was filmed throughout the 2022 and 2023 seasons.

That departing shot at the beginning is gorgeous!
Thank you very much!
The scenes at 3:04 and 4:13 are wild man. I've seen plenty of steam engines, but never have i seen one with stack talk so loud it cancels out the whistle sound. Well captured!
I have seen a lot of steam locomotives across the United States, and none are as loud as 2102.
Very nice video!! That opening shot is really impressive with the huge plume of smoke and steam
Thank you! Can’t beat cold days for lots of steam and smoke.
Excellent! What an iconic machine
Thank you! It is very iconic indeed!
Cant beat steam!
No you can’t!
Espectacular
Well done, Mark! Looking forward to that longer, more comprehensive video!
Thank you, Joe! Stay tuned!
Beautiful footage. 👍 I don't know why she's fitted with a whistle, you can't hear it over the exhaust noise from the stack. 😂
Thank you! Both the Reading Hooter (freight service) and the Reading 6 Chime (Rambles excursions) are whistles the locomotive would’ve worn on the Reading. The exhaust will overpower just about any whistles. It’s just that loud.
I like the low to the ground perspective. Great editing too, Mark.
Thank you, Tom! I like the low angles too. I think it makes the locomotive feel bigger and more powerful.
Really cool!
Thank you!
Excellent video! Those Port Clinton take offs are always epic
Thank you, Brian! Yes they are.
So how long will be the 2102 video when it releases?
It’ll be as long as it ends up being. I have no idea.
Nice. I wonder what whistle they were using?
As stated in the description, the locomotive is wearing both a Reading 6 Chime and a Reading Hooter.
Thanks. Love that 6-chime!@@MPT_Productions
@@emjay5577 you’re welcome, I do too!
Are more 2102 videos coming?
As stated in the description, this video is a preview of a long, comprehensive video of 2102 coming within a year or so.
@@MPT_Productions what month will it get uploaded?
@@mumumaaaah I have no idea. It will be done when it’s done. It will be out in either 2024 or 2025.
2100 is almost ready to steam up so it might meet 2102
War das - show -?
Oder hat die wirklich so viel am Haken gehabt?
Die ist ja ganz schön am schleppen!!
2100 should reunite with 2102.
Write a check for $200,000 and it will happen
I don't like it. Too many trains, not enough track.
Oh no, Jake doesn't like the video. I'll try better next time.😞
