Wheel Slip at the Junction, Reading and Northern 2102 at East Mahanoy Jct

During its first excursion in over 30 years, the newly restored steam locomotive Reading and Northern 2102 struggles with its Iron Horse Rambles train as it approaches East Mahanoy Junction. A heavy downpour just soaked the tracks so the ex-Reading steam engine experiences a decent amount of wheel slip when tackling the hill while approaching the junction. Sadly, most of the wheel slip you can only hear as it approaches but we were able to get the last bit of slipping on camera before it recovered to take the train the rest of the way up the grade toward Jim Thorpe. The train video was taken on 5/28/22, special thanks to Asher Lurie for being a substitute Railbrother.
