I’ve lived near port Clinton pretty much my entire life. When I was a little kid I was obsessed with steam engines and my grandfather would take me to the port Clinton station so I could be around some of the locomotives because I what little kid didn’t think trains where cool😂We walked down some of the tracks occasionally to where they used to store 2102 and he would lift me up to the windows so I could look in and see the sleeping giant. Now all these years later, he and I got to enjoy our first ride on the beast during the fall foliage excursion last year. What a machine!!

Original restoration done in Reading shops leased from Conrail by the Reading Company Technocal Society. I was a member at that time.. our crew was working on restoia GP30 in those shops at the same time. I was alos on the original ramble with the 2102 from Reading PA to Jim Thorpe Pa with a turn in Scranton. On the way back at night..... About 1/2 hr from reaching Reading the engine lost steam leaving the enti consist stranded and powerless on Conrails mainline. Had to be rescued by Contail to clrar the main. Turns out the water fill in Jim Thorpe by a local fire company had floride in it which foamed in the boiler causing loss of pressure stranding the locomotive. Got home 6 hrs late.

Probably my first conscious memory was at maybe 3 years old (I'm now 84)...coming at me head on was a laboring steam locomotive enshrouded with swirling clouds of white steam..this would have been in 1941-42..I was standing in probably my mother's lap in a car approaching the oncoming train off to the right close to the road we were driving..I was absolutely awed , and I can still clearly remember the powerful image of the engine bearing down on us like looking at a photograph.

My grandfather worked for the Reading. He started in 1914 at the Rutherford Pa. Yard. When it was called the P&R. He retired in 1964 with 50 years service. I would love to see it come up the N/S Harrisburg East Line again but I don't think that will ever happen. I did have the opportunity to chase it last year. What an awesome locomotive. My father took as a young boy to see the steam locomotives on that line but I was to young at that time to remember them. Nice video you made of this historic locomotive.

I LOVE that locomotive!❤ As a little boy, I rode behind her on that excursion around the Horseshoe Curve in ‘77! I remember driving across the Smithfield Street Bridge in Pittsburgh to get on board at the old P&LE station. Great plumes of dark smoke puffed up from beneath the bridge like a dragon’s breath. She was massive, regal, & beautiful. You can’t imagine my joy at the news she was being restored! I rode behind her doubleheader with 425 and again this past October with my family. 2102 is just as beautiful & awe-inspiring as she was when I was a little boy taking my very first real train ride. 😊 I hope she runs for many more decades to come.

Sat in the front car right behind the generator car. Got covered in coal but man was it fun. RBM&N and the 2102 put on the best excursion I've been on by far.

Interesting things to note: color of the smoke indicating efficiency. In the older shots in the engine is billowing a thick black smoke full of carbon from incomplete combustion (same as "roll coal" exhaust in tucks) as Engineers didn't worry about it as much back then. In the new shots the smoke is white indicating a more efficient and complete combustion from the engineers! Bonus fact: in the very first shot you can see white smoke coming from the rear of the engine but not the stack, that's because it's actually steam being released from the safety blow off. When the engine is not in open the throttle the steam is not going to the Pistons then exhausting through the stack. That pressure exhausts at the rear of the boiler through a safety relief vent when it's not being sent to positions

Visited the Port Clinton Headquarters of the Reading & Northern today with my 7 year old grandson who eats, sleeps & thinks about trains 24x7. He has his own subscription to Trains magazine. We also train watch & chase all we can. We’ve chased the doubleheader of 2102 & 425 and ridden behind 425 Santa Train. The R&N folks are very train fan friendly. We toured the Steam Shop where they are overhauling #425 their Blue Pacific and they were shining & oiling T-1 2102 for a Saturday Ramble. My Grandson was invited to go into the cab of 2102. He knew most of the controls and impressed the machinists who took us up to the cab. We also watched a female shop machinist / Mechanic custom make a part for the 425 while a man was inside the firebox welding something. Check the schedule but this Saturday is a good time to see the gorgeous 2120 run from Reading thru Port Clinton, Tamaqua and on to Jim Thorpe. It’s so impressive to be near the tracks when it roars through. They’ll put on a show and blow some serious smoke 💨 when there are crowds of photographers and just enthusiasts watching. R&N lead by Andy Muller is a national treasure.

On two different occasions, I was called to pilot the excursion train from Temple to Jim Thorpe and return. They had to have a qualified locomotive engineer on board when operating over Conrail trackage. I had the opportunity to operate it from Jim Thorpe to Allentown. It had a modern braking system brake valve. I don't think I would have liked a career on the steamers, though. Dirty, loud, smelly, and exposed to the elements. It was either too hot or too cold.
