Wow awesome video great shots of the steam engine and a caboose to boot never thought a steam engine would be used like this and loved the caboose at the end thanks for posting it. Have a great day everyone
That's the most beautiful interior cab I have ever seen!! It's beautiful, those guys did a wonderful job! I'm also glad that they put a caboose at the end of the train, that made it all the more special!!
It is a very enjoyable sight to see a Reading rr t 1 class locomotive back in operation and hauling a freight train, a fair amount of popular steam engines are returning to service now in the 21st century.
It's great to see steam doing a job that it once did. I hope it can earn it's keep . I remember as a young kid on vacation in Pa. going past a steel mill and steam engines by the hundreds piled like core wood to be scraped and melted down.What a sorry sight
Whistle is quite high pitched, and reminds me of European whistles, but 2102 has higher boiler pressure, and it's much louder!!-! GOD BLESS THE U.S.A 🇺🇸 🙌 🙏 ❤!!!!! ALLELUIA!!!!! AMEN!!!!! HI from Green Bay!! GO PACKERS!!!!! LOLLOLLOL !!!!! ALL ABOARD!! HIGHBALL!!-!
Are you going to upload a higher def at some point? The drone work is great. How did you talk your way into the cab? 2102 looks better now than the day she was built. Hope Andy recoups his investment in the rebuild ... and then some.
@@AirchimeLTDproductions174 I'm a little confused though because while I do really like this whistle, I remember seeing videos of 2102 during her restoration phase and the engine had on the Reading 6 chime whistle doing whistle tests, so will this locomotive forever have the hooter whistle or eventually replace it with the six chime, or wear both whistles as the locomotive did before.
I tell you with those dramatic whistles at the start I expected it to come thundering through hauling a consist at cruising speed, not like gently backing down the track.
Is the Reading & Northern planning on keeping that Reading Banshee on the 2102, or will they put her original 6 chime back on? (I was just asking, because I know for a fact that 2102 didn't just have that Banshee on her when she was in operation back then.)
Fantastic. Now with its yellow highlights, whitewalls, and I think original excursion whistle. What a great Iron Horse Ramble treasure indeed!
Epic EpIc Video !! 👍👍👍🙏
the first time in a long time a proper 4-8-4 has pulled a freight train, unassisted
Yeah. No joke. We hadn’t seen this being repeated before in a longtime.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, “The Schuylkill Shifter: Version 2.0”!
Great video! Hey and I like those SD40-2s too!
I will admit, the black-and-yellow livery looks glamorous.

What a great restoration! Amazing video of one of the finest steamers ever built The Reading shops knew their stuff.
Awesome, the beast of the Iron Horse Rambles has returned to life! Great catch!
That whistle at the start of the video gave me goose bumps!
We are at a level 5 foam alert. Repeat, level 5 foam alert. Do not leave your homes unless it's an emergency.
Lmao

At some point yes just gotta upgrade some things along the way!
@@SteelandSteamProductions Oops! I jumped the gun. There it is!
Nice sounding whistle. I would say the bridge shown was designed for two sets of tracks, we have one here like that with the off set track.
Great footage and a good job
Is the hooter whistle authentic? Did the Reading T1s actually wear hooter whistles?
Yessir the Reading T-1s were originally built with Reading Freight Banshee Hooters.

Reminds me of the NCSTL 576
When the reading road again
How many cars were they hauling that day?
i counted 50 hopper cars + caboose
People have been saying that it's 50 empty cars
is she gonna carry passengers.
Foam alert! Foam alert! This is not a drill I repeat this is not a drill!
Mark 1 videos the Schuylkill shifter in 2022
thanks no diesel helpers
Great video
Moron at 2:30 almost got smoked
OMG! That whistle sounds like a whale!! Dump it...

Lol it's a Reading Freight Banshee. Alot of people actually like this type of hooter whistle on the contrary.
It’s accurate to what 2102 wore back in the day with the Reading
