October 21st, Kris and I paid another visit to the Reading & Northern to photograph 4-8-4 No. 2102 in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is such an awesome locomotive in every regard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We arrived trackside at Hamburg, Pennsylvania just after 9am. This is on the old Philadelphia & Reading’s original mainline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After less than half an hour we heard the whistle and anticipated the passage of the great machine leading an Iron Horse Ramble on its march toward Jim Thorpe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is really cool is that 60 years ago, my father was doing the same thing! I grew up looking at Pop’s Reading Company slides. There’s a lot of history around locomotive 2102 and that’s part of the draw of the engine for me and a lot of other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
