Reading 2102 Mixed Freight run

[@andrewreynolds912]

Its rare to see a steam locomotive pull frieght without a diesel. it's a pretty rare sight and i hope they continue to do this for years to come!

[@Railhog2102]

Because originally when these locomotives were built they were meant to pull many cars

[@austinniederjohn9813]

I agree with you, man this makes young guns like me feel like we should have been born in the steam era

[@andrewreynolds912]

@austinniederjohn9813 yes but we wouldn't have seen all the amazing tech that's about to come

[@andrewreynolds912]

A steam engine with freight and a caboose. Not as fancy or flashy as a modern double stack pulled modern diesels. But an elegant consist for a more civilized age.

Nice catch Thunderbolt. 2102 was pulling goood

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

It’s very nice to see 2102 do what she was designed to do pull long freight and passenger trains one of my favorite things about 2102 is that she has two whistles Reading single hooter chime and her Reading six chime whistle both have their individual chords blown by the engineer in the cab

[@RDLgamingOfficial]

You were talking to thunderbolt right?

[@AhmearClayIombo-dj6di]

Awesome Video

[@TrainMedia00]

2102 is now hauling a heavy freight train without AI or Modern technologies, let a steam engine handle it

[@TracksideFoxnFuntimeFox]

A temporary trip to the good old days.

[@RDLgamingOfficial]

Yeah

[@TheEmpressMouse]

That whistle! Beautiful

[@carrieslantern9224]

Super Cool. Glad you caught it. Thank you.

[@Steamer96]

Man wish I could see more of this going on where a steam locomotive taking freight for quite a distance.

[@kaseyleitchnextgen3281]

Passenger livery hauling freight? That’s illegal.

[@DennisLora2001]

Amazing video well done

[@Challenger3985Productions]

That was a good premiere

[@sirbarongaming2138]

If I could work on steam locomotives like 2102 and pull mixed freight trains in the modern era, I would be complete in life

[@cykablyatman6242]

gaht daym she's got insane pulling power (she could haul 124 loaded reading htj hoppers with up a grade with ease that's how much power she had)

[@sfm_ferguson5033]

Wait when was this!!???

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

August 2022

[@TrackMaster844]

Is it me, or does 2102 have 2 different whistle tones?

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

2 Whistles in general. A RDG Passenger 6 chime and a RDG single chime Hooter. The former is mainly used during the excursions and the latter was not only it's stock whistle but is also mainly used on the freight runs. The dual mount was fitted by the Reading in the 60s during the Reading Railroad iron horse rambles.

this about to be a hyce god momment fr

[@maxm2317]

Would’ve chased that day, but my late asshole of a boss denied my absence request form out of pure spite.

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

Dang that sucks. I almost didn't make it but I had just enough time to chase it as it was on the way to where I needed to go that afternoon anyway (Ukrainian homestead in Lehighton)
