  • The return of the Iron Horse Rambles, featuring Reading & Northern T-1 2102 thundering through the hills of eastern Pennsylvania between North Reading and Jim Thorpe. Seriously, if you don't have temporary hearing loss at some point during this video, you are not getting the in person experience.
    The Iron Horse Rambles were excursions by the Reading Railroad between 1959 and 1964 carried out by T-1s 2100, 2102, and 2124. Fast forward to today, with the recent restoration of 4-8-4 "Northern" Type 2102, the Reading & Northern railroad operates over some of the former Reading Railroad trackage, recreating their own Rambles through a rejuvenated network of tracks through the Anthracite Region of Pennsylvania.
    The trips leave Outer Station along the Reading Railroad, entering the Central Railroad of New Jersey at Haucks terminating at the CNJ station in Jim Thorpe. Period accurate signals salvaged from the former railways adorn the route's present day CTC system, giving a feeling that you could step back in time for a moment to witness the power of steam in its heyday. R&N 2102 is mainline steam at its finest!

    Incredibly talented Rail photographer. Very creative,to include railside shots of beautiful wildflowers the deer, the snapping turtle hanging out in the pool of water in the stream, under the bridge. This is the best video of the 2102 I've found yet.

    What an epic return! The Iron Horse Rambles are back with a bang. Can't wait to embark on new adventures and witness the beauty of the journey. All aboard for another unforgettable ride!

    Oh my dear Lord, this was incredible! Words almost fail me!
    This wasn't just a rail video, it was a trip back in time and 2102 was the time machine. It's been said and it's true that the best historic artifacts have the power to pull you back into their own era and 2102 certainly does that!
    Thanks so much for being there (And getting rained on!) and taking us along with you!
    A masterpiece of film making!

    My 101 year old father has always liked trains, steam engines especially. Lately we have been watching a lot of videos about trains and this one is my favorite so far. You got some beautiful footage 🙂, makes me want to take a trip up to Pennsylvania.

    The quality on R&N 2102 is Fantastic on the shots. I really liked the service for 2102 you caught. I was at the second Rambler event back on Sunday, August 13, 2023. It was my first time visiting the R&N. Started out at OS for the hookup then the action really began just north at Cross keys. Then had to hurry back to Hamburg after I took a wrong way. It didn't stopped me for the chase. I enjoy it. Plus I saw the NRFF for the first time. R&N did a awesome job. I didn't mind the double whistle on 2102. I liked it. A very fantasic job you did.

    10:00 poor deer has probably never heard or seen a steam loco before, and doesn't know what's happening. I hope she didn't run on the tracks when the train came.
    Nice footage. I wish railroads brought them back. Maybe than people would think twice about crossing the tracks in front of the train.
    Trains today, specially here in Europe have ridiculous horns: "Pi-Hoonk!!"
    And still people complain about noise. Maybe it's not the noise that's the problem, and complaints would stop if proper trains came by again.

      First, I offered my own opinion (admittedly in a perhaps overdramatic manner, but nonetheless).
      Second, my name is both a pun and an anagram. The pun is that the top two lines of a Z look like a seven, so 007-James Bond. The anagram is very much related to railroading, something rather specific, in fact. Here's a hint-there are three pieces of two characters each. I also removed four letters to make it cryptic.

      I agree that it was spectacular, but at the time I was quite sick and cranky. I do apologize for the attitude, but I have to note that even now, when I'm feeling much better, my health and financial means massively restrict my ability to travel. At least I can get up and walk around now for short periods-there are many people who don't even have that. So please be understanding-we don't all have the ability to actually chase ourselves. Whether its because they live too far away, don't have enough money, or don't have the health, there are a long list of reasons why this might happen, so please don't just act like its laziness on the part of other people.
