In the spring of 2022, Reading T-I #2102 returned to service after a six-year restoration at the Reading & Northern's headquarters in Port Clinton, PA. The big 4-8-4 was busy from April to November pulling both excursion trains and the occasional freight on some of the very same trackage it was built for. After the last trip in the fall the locomotive entered the shop for winter maintenance. With the work complete, #2102 was ready for another season of excursions and a schedule of six trips was announced for 2023.
Running the familiar Reading to Jim Thorpe route, #2102 pulled three Iron Horse Rambles during the summer months and then three Autumn Leaf Excursions in the fall. This program begins with coverage of the second Iron Horse Ramble on August 13th, then chronicles all three Autumn Leaf Excursions in October. The last trip of the year features footage from in the cab, including an extended sequence in the afternoon as the locomotive claws up the tough grade to Nesquehoning.

I am now a huge fan of Reading 2102! In the spring of 2022, T1 steam locomotive 2102 returned to service and in the summer of 2023, she pulled the second Iron Horse Ramble. The locomotive then ran in October for Autumn Leaf Special trains. The last trip of the year however was intense as the crew of 2102 had to work hard while 2102 clawed its way to Nesquehoning grades. For a moment, I thought she was going to stall on top of the grade as Mother Nature was not cooperating at the time. But when the sun came out and the rain settled, the engineer of 2102 triumphantly blew her whistle and everything went back to normal. You’ll be thrilled with this one.
Additional remarks by Ron Harber: Narration:Just enough. Image quality:Excellent! DVD Value:Excellent Value! Recommend to others?A "Must Have"!
