Reading & Northern 2102: The Tunkhannok Rambler | Founders Day Excursion 2026 {4K}

Filmed on 6/27/26 Another awesome day trackside with Reading & Northern 2102! On June 27, we chased the Founders Day Excursion all the way from Nesquehoning to Tunkhannock, catching the big T-1 working hard across the Lehigh Division with plenty of smoke, whistles, and great runbys along the way. Reading Blue Mountain and Northern 2102 (historically known as Reading 2102) is a preserved T-1 class 4-8-4 "Northern" type steam locomotive, originally built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works (BLW) in March 1925 as an I-10sa class 2-8-0 "Consolidation" type locomotive for the Reading Company (RDG). No. 2102 was rebuilt by RDG's own locomotive shops as a 4-8-4 in September 1945, and it was used for pulling heavy coal trains for the RDG until being retired from revenue service in 1956.
