Reading T1 2102 is a beautiful 4-8-4 “Northern”. Understanding how it could do. I would like to see this locomotive in Pennsylvania. On going performance. And it’s hooter whistle is pretty cool.
She's a personal favorite of mine and a close 2nd to all time favorite (behind the PRR K4s) Since my area is mostly Ex Reading territory engines much like 2102 practically made my home area possible in the 1st place which is why I hold a very high level of respect for 2102. She's also one of the only steam engines I know of who pulls revenue earning freight (mainly coal drags) on a common basis, Even UP can't do what RBMN has been doing with 2102.
46:54 like that jab at Greta Thunberg. Reminds me of Amtrak Guy 365's Marysville Railroad video where he called Logan and David "EPA nightmares" to sort of jab at the EPA, as well as his earth day vid. Also just wondering, when you said "hypecritical" do you mean as in she constantly drives/has a very inefficient car or what?
Close, It's a former NS SD40-2 number 3069. It still wears its NS black paint but all the logos of NS are patched up, it should receive the same livery the other SD40-2s have sometime in the future.
2102 is about as Philadelphia like American Bandstand, Rocky and Cheesesteaks you can get. Hopefully if it's actually possible she could return to Norristown on excursions like she did back in the 1980s.
She chose to wear it probably just because she wanted to. She unfortunately had it stolen while in Philly where she lives unfortunately so she no longer has it :(
Wow what a rush. You should see steam trains at full throttle priceless. Absolutely wonderful. It never gets old seeing these old trains and it is so great to see all the grown men watching with the excitement of little kids at seeing this old train out for a ride. Great work. Outstanding.
Can't read the name of the train on the side of the power. Horrible camera action. Also couldn't read the caption because the color blended into the video. Rate this video as poor. Rate content very good. Try moving the camera a little bit to cover the entire engine. Pick a different color caption to stand out.
I'm local to Pa there is a bunch of places all over that offer steam locomotive rides and they are usually pretty cheep and some run everyday you should check one out
