T-1 2102's Fall Finale - RBMN Autumn Leaf to Jim Thorpe

October 21st, 2023 marked the final scheduled run for the Reading Blue Mountain & Northern's star 4-8-4 #2102. The overnight rain and falling leaves gave the steam crew quite a run for their money keeping the locomotive moving on the steep grades. During the layover in Mauch Chunk, I tried to capture the many movements of the other trains that were operating including the LGSR, Pittston, and Pottsville trains. Come along for the ride as I document as much as I can about the T-1's last trip to Jim Thorpe for 2023!

I was also aboard that day on the fifth car behind the engine.The best part was hearing her slip on the hill out of Jim Thorpe.😊

The sights and sounds of steam you will only get from the likes of Andy Mullers Reading Blue Mountain and Northern, it’s just like the Reading in the 1940s ! No place better for a steam enthusiast in America.
