I agree she looked great all shiny black in 1985 with green coaches. I really miss her Pennsy whistle, it had a great loud commanding sound. Wait till 2102 comes back someday pulling faded red and blue coaches, then it will look like a circus train run by Monty Python. LOL
@4202EJW Was she in her original paint scheme here? I removed my comment because it looks like this was footage of when she wasn't blue. Was she always Blue Mountain and Reading, or was she owned by the reading company.... It never occurred to me that I am unfamiliar with the history of this locomotive.
@4202EJW she looks nice in both colors. Personally I think she looks good in blue, but that's just my opinion. She also lloks good with her bell in front of the stack and light on the smoke box. Again, that's just my opinion.

@4202EJW I agree with the not looking nice in blue! What color was she originally? (I'd assume black, but one never knows...)

Ah the good old days of the Blue Mountain & Reading, I rode many times up there between Tample & South Hamburg,Pa.
But the next time uses a tri pod to copy it will make it better yet.
