Do you add video sound effects for wheel squeal and rail joint hits or is that from a sound module? Makes the videos very realistic!

It is very enjoyable to see steam locomotives in operation in modern era railroading, the 2102 was really struggling with traveling through the territory but it successfully completed the journey. The excessive wheel slippage is a sign that a locomotive is having difficulty hauling a train/ traveling through a specific section of territory and Reading 2102 put on an enjoyable performance despite the struggling performance. I am very satisfied that one of the four surviving Reading rr t1 class 4-8-4 locomotives has been returned to operation, I enjoy seeing video footage of Reading & Northern rr 2102 in service.

Just found out that there was an issue with the booster's main throttle valve that wasn't corrected until after the last trip the first weekend of November lol. That means that while the booster is indeed cut in, it's only receiving steam through the preliminary booster throttle valve and not actually adding any additional tractive effort. That makes this what's recorded here even more impressive!

@@mikesuprys it’s common for some steam locomotives to have issues while climbing grades, 2102 is a very powerful steam locomotive for it’s class so she’s really just dealing with the wet leaves from the storm. But in all reality that’s nothing for 2102, if i’m correct she can pull a lot more than that and still have highball speeds
@nstrainfanyt8 ай бұрын
2102 is more than capable of pulling this many cars. It's mainly the fact the rails are slippery on top of a steep grade with these cars in tow

Remember that the ruling grade on the Kanawha and New River Subdivisions is much lower than it is here in this video. That means the same engine will be able to pull a much longer train on the New River without being in danger of stalling.
