2102 Break-in and Chase - 2024 Iron Horse Rambles PREVIEW
Ойын-сауық
What. A. DAY! The Reading and Northern's Steam Shop employees have been hard at work making sure the Eastern Rail Beast, RBMN's 2102, is ready for action in 2024. Their work has paid off significantly!
On 5-8-24, RBMN's CEO Andy Muller Jr., was at the helm of the 2102 heading Eastward from RBMN's steam shop at Port Clinton, PA to Tamaqua, PA greeted by hundreds of railfans and a perfect day of mild temperatures and ample sunshine.
It was to be a chase like no other for those who were in attendance. For testing purposes, speed was capped at 10 mph, so rare photo and video opportunities were available to the lucky spectators.
If you missed it, no worries because RBMN and @JamieMakin have you covered! Jamie made it to every major viewing point from the beginning to the return! Please see the time stamps below for all the points of interest!
Finally, videos and pictures are great. But, there is nothing quite like being there onsite and riding along with this marvel of history and engineering excellence! Tickets for the 2024 "Iron Horse Rambles are still available but SELLING OUT FAST". Get yours by following the link below or calling the number listed...

She has such a beautiful whistle and I'm in love with that stack talk. A graceful lady, indeed!😊

Come ride or chase one of our Iron Horse Ramble trips, you will hear a lot more of it!
Heading up to Jim Thorpe to see 2102’s first train of 2024.

We'll be there! Catch the F-units on the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway train while you are in town!
Andy sure is living the life.
I’m super excited for the ramble to Tunkhannock! Already got my calendar marked for that day so I could see 2102 in person for the first time. I’m so excited for you guys! Hope everything goes well.
She looks great in either direction. Beautiful. Engine ❤️🌹

Back for a third straight year of Rambles! We are as excited as you are!
Andy definitely had the best seat in the house for going backwards. I’m sure the deck of the Black Diamond is a better seat during excursions.

It definitely is... but when your model railroad is 12 inches to the foot scale, you call the shots!
I wish they could add more tickets for Port Clinton.

Unfortunately we are restricted by the relatively small size of the station platform at Port Clinton and can only load two cars at the most there. Reading is only about 20 minutes from Port Clinton, plus you get the full ride from there!
So excited to ride the Iron Horse Ramble on June 22nd from Nesquehoning to Tunkhannock in the Salisbury Beach. This summer it’s going to be officially “1 YEAR” since I did an article on the Parlor Car during last year’s Iron Horse Ramble on July 1st to feature in my live steam club’s “Pennsylvania Live Steamers” gazette and made sure to share my article with the railroad once it got published. Last year was such a great experience because the Parlor Car was in between Andy’s private cars the Black Diamond and Glen Onoko Falls. Getting to walk through the Glen Onoko Falls in order to enter the Parlor Car was a bonus even though I didn’t get to actually ride in Glen Onoko Falls but walking through it for the first still made my day even more memorable because it’s not every day that you get offered an opportunity to see the inside of a private car. Huge thanks to the Reading Blue Mountain and Northern railroad who really appreciated my article on the Parlor Car! My Dad and I are looking forward to our ride on June 22nd in the new Salisbury Beach while riding behind 2102 out of the new Nesquehoning Campus station. See you on June 22nd!🚂😊

It was built in the Reading Company shops in 1945. It is actually a conversion of their I-10SA class 2-8-0 consolidation #2044.
