On our visit to see Reading and Northern T-1 #2102, we made a short visit to the Lehigh Gorge to see the 1:00 LGSR train heading up to Old Penn Haven at control point INDEPENDENCE. On this weekend the RBMN had prepared their classy F units, previously owned by Norfolk Southern on their office car specail train to pull the weekend trips. Enjoy!

Small Chase of New England Central 611 between Brattleboro and Amherst

With New England Central entering their "new" GE's they acquired from Wabtec, I wanted to chase the 611 before this had happened. Luckily, I had caught them with four of their SD40-2's. My chase had been cut short though, since I had not gone out to shoot and video since December, my batteries had not been charged since then. Nonetheless it was a decent chase, and was glad to finally chase the ...

    I'm from Connecticut and I remember going to a DOWT event here with my mom and my brother and sister when i was little. I think i was around 2 or 3 years old and even though i absolutely loved it, seeing Thomas up close scared the living daylights out of me!!!! It was very overwhelming!!!! But i still loved the event as a whole!!!! Me and my brother are now 22 and while he's grown out of it, i am still a HUGE fan to this day and i always will be!!!! T&F is my 2nd favorite franchise alongside Power Rangers!!!! 💙💙👍👍🎉🎉

    Is anyone able to fill me in as to why the crew uses two different whistles? Is it just whichever one they feel like using or is there a purpose?

    • @ethanpiscitello188
      @ethanpiscitello188 Před měsícem

      The actual use of having two separate whistles is that the hooter was used when the locomotive pulled freight, and the 6 chime was used for when the locomotive pulled passengers. Though, during the rambles, you’ll often see that they both get used. Not much a reason behind that other than just for the hell of it.

    • @jamesmccann1097
      @jamesmccann1097 Před měsícem

      I first rode behind 2102 in 1976, it was set up for two whistles back then. I like the Rdg Banshee freight whistle over the Rdg passenger whistle.

    3025 would be 35 years old. But she looks older than she really is. That sets this locomotive apart from all the other surviving steam locomotives. There are other locomotives that are in their seventies and eighties and even their hundreds.
