Reading & Northern 2102 - Pulling 50 Coal Hoppers (4/26/2022)

R&N #2102 is back!
Welcome the return of a class T-1 Steam Locomotive that has not been in operation since 1991. The locomotive I'm referring to is Reading & Northern's #2102, a 4-8-4 "Northern" type steam locomotive. In this video we start out in Hamburg Pennsylvania and give chase north to Jim Thorpe. Along the way I capture her progress from the air, the ground and even underneath. Once she arrives in Jim Thorpe, we'll take a more up-lclose and personal look at this beauty. When she departs Jim Thorpe, we'll pace her for a few miles and finally catch her passing the Tamaqua station. This run was to test how well she would do pulling the equivalent weight of the passenger cars next month. The owner himself said she performed flawlessly pulling 50 coal cars and a caboose from Reading to Jim Thorpe.

Spectacular footage Jay, love it all. There will never be a time that the sight,sound of a steam locomotive won't put a smile on my face. I'm so glad there is still people and groups that support, run and maintain steam engines and their rails. It brings so much to people of all ages, full of history. Outstanding job Jay, Thank you 👊👍🤙

Not many people decide to spend a couple million to bring a locomotive back to life. 2022 is the year a T-1 locomotive returned to the rails.

Great footage! The Engine makeover looks fab...It's a real looker, Jay! And RE: the T1 Locomotive built in 1945 . That's the year my folks were married and it's fire was lit again on 4/4 my mom's birthday. RIP mom. She's been gone 4 yrs now. Was born in Allentown, PA grew up in Chicago, IL. All kinds of messages from the folks today. On Deana Martin's Live FB show today she sang one of my dads' favorite songs too...I'll See You In My Dreams. I cried on that one...He's been gone since 2000. RIP dad. He was born in the house we grew up in. thank you for all you do...Always enjoy the videos so much. Greetings to Jill, Lili and Jinx. 👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐

I seen #2102 before any of the public on 3/22/22 as I was a side crew, that helped get her ready. Last time public seen her in all her glory was almost 35 years ago in Jim Thorpe & do I have quite the selection of pictures from that day along with the "LEGEND" Family Friend: George Michener Hart, if you don't know who he is look him up on Google and have a Better Respect and understanding for any Railroad as he did. As George Hart saved more Railroads in the Northeast than any other person alive. If you ever wondered where all of Strasburg Railroad Locomotives located in Lancaster PA came from, they "were all Bought by Geoge Hart" and located to their location as they sit to this day. But not to get sidetracked It's Great having #2102 Her Back Running it is.

Awesome video JP. You done did good ! My dad worked for the Reading and would always let my brother and I know when the Reading Ramble would be coming through. We waited with train ears on. I remember lots of steam and smoke . All the passenger cars had people hanging out of the windows and doors. That was so exciting for a ten year old . My favorite shot was when the camera was between the rails. I thought the train was going to veer off to the left or right.

Absolutely epic video!!! It's my favorite video you've ever made, but I suppose I'm a little biased lol. So many amazing shots I barely know where to begin. I guess the drone footage is probably my favorite because it's a perspective I can't get on my own. I'm thrilled you got to meet Andy and that he was gracious enough to take the time to talk to you guys at length. Sorry I missed that bit, I think that was when I was doing my photography. And fantastic job pacing it through Nesquehoning! I know it was a long wait, but your patience paid off. Can't wait for The Rambles! 🚂🖤💛🖤

Thanks for chasing down this awesome train!

@JPVideos it was pure luck while in Washington, Missouri. It had slipped my mind until we saw the crowd at the station. Unfortunately the UP will no longer allow the old Frisco steam to run due to liability coverage. That was the only operational equipment at our museum of transport besides a trolly car. The museum was a private owned facility for decades and the lack of financial support caused most of the equipment to deteriorate beyond repair. Still a nice collection of rail cars and now the county park system has control. As I'm sure you know lots of paint and anti rust material is constantly needed to protect these treasures that are out in the open. I hope to make it to Steam Town one day. 🙏
