I like this vid 'cause it's still in RDG paint like I knew it back in '72. I rode the Greenbrier Scenic Excursion out of my hometown of Ronceverte WV behind the 2102. I remember watching them coal it using the old tipple, but they had the fire dept. load the water. While it was parked in the yard there, my dad, cousins and I played around and took pictures on/around it. I have discovered two of those photos in the old family records.

If 2102 ever ran through the gorge north of JT, that would be the first time for it, wouldn't it? That would be a big fat IF. Someone on facebook said that Andy himself wants to restore 2102 but now there's problems with 425.

I forget, how did they run around the train at Temple if the second track across from the station was occupied by rail cars? Conrail boxcar, RDC's, etc. Was there another switch somewhere south of the station and did they take the train down there to do the runaround? I want to recreate this line in Trainz 2010. I have a mega route I put together of lines from Bound Brook, NJ to Harrisburg (track only in from Sinking Spring to Phillipsburg, NJ so far) and the lines north of Reading to Sayre, PA.

The wheels were really slipping when it was running in reverse pulling the train from Temple. I had the opportunity to ride behind 2102 in spring 1988 from South Hamburg and Sept 1991 from Emmaus to Pennsburg. I wish it would come back. 425 is now temporarily out of service so all excursion trains are diesel powered for the spring and summer this year.
