In the late 40's, early 50's I lived with my Uncle who was a supervisor on the RDG railroad. On weekends he would take me to the train yards where I could visit the roundhouse and watch the engines, including a few steamers on the round turn table. Great memories!

The way the whistle echos through the valley is so Haunting, and i Love it! Also that new Paint job on the engine is Stunning! What a magnificent engine, good to see it running again.

The Rambler returns to the Rails with all new excursions planned this year!!!

At 5:11 is Chairman, Owner, and CEO Andy Muller Jr. as he’s putting his hands around his mouth telling to one of his employees. He was today’s engineer and he is really happy to have his locomotive back in action once again.

11:11 Gotta Love those period accurate signals! Spectacular shot!

2102 pulled out of the yard like it had nothing attached to it. Amazing how well it's running.

That is indeed a spectacular site. I sure wish that more and more steamers would run like this (With no diesel attached) hauling a decent sized freight train, that would be a site I'd love to see

Beautiful restoration! The sharp edged chuff of a well tuned engine that is pulling hard! Wow! I was lucky enough to ride behind 2012 from Tuckerton to Leesport. Probably mi-1980s, Looks even better now! Amazing job!

the echoes of the whistle through the forest... really enjoyed it.. thank you for this wonderful experience ❤️❤️❤️❤️

WOW! Just Wow! That whistle is awesome the way it echoes in the valley. Fantastic video.

All I can say is wow!!! 2102 is a beautiful machine. The haunting whistle is my favorite part. Thank you for sharing!

A fast, picturesque, scenic, atmospheric, and even somewhat haunting 26 minutes. Well done! Thanks! (I'm seriously considering moving to Pennsylvania!)

Yeah that Reading hooter sure can be spooky depending on what pitch it captures the ear and echoes into the distance.

Awesome job, love the hooter

Very nicely done indeed! My favorite scene: the smoke over the hoppers at 15:40 -- lovely, and good for you for noticing it and capturing it. Second favorite: the smoke over the church in Nesquehoning. And the entry into Tamaqua on the return, also top notch.

What a really great video! Thank you so much!!

STUNNING clips! Truly a beautiful engine. Can't wait until 2100 joins her!

a hard working t-hog at it's finest, I keep telling myself that I gotta get out to see this thing

Great to see the 484 northern thundering along the main line again

2102 do be pulling those hoppers like a champ

How incredibly beautiful!

Absolutely beautiful engine. Thanks for the show.

It is an enjoyable sight to see a steam locomotive hauling a freight train in 2022, the Reading 4-8-4 2102 looks handsome hauling the coal train and I am glad that it has been restored back to operation.

A 4=8=4 haulin freight and a CABOOSE!! WOW !!!!! Brings tears to my eyes.for the old days. Watchin the cars roll by I opened another tab to play Sons of the Pioneers "One More Ride". What I wouldnt give for one more real ride to smell the "Smoke, Cinders and Soot"

It's so great to see all these beautiful machines coming back to service after all this time.

Terrific vid mate! Many thanks for this. So so good to see a modern, powerful steam loco hauling freight cars!!

This is such a beautiful steam locomotive. A new train brought back from the past to the modern age. Also, I like to think that this freight run was a nice callback to when she did freight service runs before and after her conversion to a T1 4-8-4 "Northern" back in the day.

That beautiful train horn sound good my favorite car is the caboose's love miss seeing them dpu

Jaw dropping! Wow 🤩

Some of the old structures, saw better days, needing a crew to patch them up, at least, a make shift, crew rest area, or relay spot for communications, spare parts, monitor security station.. Repurpose the structures, at least a snack bar, coffee bar, pit stop.. Besides, Clam Chowder soup, bisquits, ham/cheese sandwich, might hit the spot on runs. Cold New England winters.. I was mistaken, I miscounted thinking it was a 4-10-4 Steam locomotive.. It's a 4-8-4! Yet beautiful work. :) (Brick mason, roofers, and insulated windows might get that structure sound.) :)

ChainsawN&W1218, love those hooter whistles, good to see the 4-8-4 in action again,I hope one day the VMT can restore N&W A Class 2-6-6-4# 1218,love that single note hooter whistle.

2102 in my opinion is a national treasure !

You could a whole episode about bringing her back to life. Believe it or not, it started as a 2-8-0.

Maybe they retained the bell from the 2-8-0 and called it a “rebuild” so they would not have to charge a capital account.

I Love That Steam Locomotive

Nice vid! 👍👍🎉🎉

Excellent videography and editing, A++. I especially enjoyed the Jim Thorpe curve scenes.

Wow súper video my friend like and Greetings from Argentina !

Even though I’m not the biggest fan of steam this video is fantastic from a railroad history buff’s perspective. Some of the more remote shots almost seem like you brought a 4K camera back 75 years in the past and shot routine freight movements. Excellent work!

At 5:44, it was SO DAMN GOOD to see A REAL CABOOSE, AND NOT THAT WORTHLESS FLASHING RED LIGHT!! It reminded me of the red cabooses that were on the end of the Southern Railroad freight trains.❤❤❤😊😊😊 I miss them.

Cool view of how much velocity the exhaust has as it exits the stack at 12:10.

This seems unreal. Never have I seen a steam locomotive in action. Paint job is A1. Very impressive video, sir.

Very nice. Was a great day.

Thanks awesome train.

Amazing video

This was a beautiful video. My Grandad lived in a railroad town in the PA mountains. Steam was gone by the time my memory began, but i always wondered what it would have looked and sounded like. I wish I would have known this was happening. Loved to hear that whistle in the hollow

Wonderful video!! I love 4-8-4 "Northerns". My dad used to ride 6100, 6200, and 6400 series Northerns on the CNR.

That's the best sounding steam whistle, I've ever heard. Such a haunting and lonesome sound.

This Video is So Dramatic I Love IT!!!!

Fantastic video wow

There's just something about those movie-style cameras that make things look SO cinematic.

Nice seeing a whole train without any graffiti…!!!

I saw this coal burner in a video, and now i can't stop watching it. Steam trains are fascinating in a way modern diesels will never be.
