2:16 Even in 1976, people ignore crossing signals. No wonder it happens in 2011.

@MasterNinjaDM
Well, you might read this, even a year late. 2101 suffered major heat damage in a roundhouse fire in KY in 1979, was traded to the B&O Museum by Ross Rowland for C&O 614 later that year, and is cosmetically restored as AFT #1 at the B&O museum today. The 3rd AFT locomotive, Texas & Pacific 2-10-4 #610, briefly ran as part of the SR steam program after the AFT, but was returned to Texas, and sits in uncertainty there today.

I wonder if anybody has any footage of the Reading #2101 Freedom Train in Milford, CT in 1976. That would be awesome too!

Cary -
this was probably a round trip to Wilton (there was no wye at Burstall, and no place to turn 2101 on the Crescent Division until York). The gentleman at about 4:25 standing with his hands behind his back was Paul C. "Pappy" Houseman, a long-time N&W man who supervised the work on 2101 both in its infamous "32-day overhaul" and the work done in Irondale after it handed off the AFT to 4449 in Chicago. the long-haired kid standing in front of 630 is Donald Purdie.

Even stripped of paint, the T1s are a sight to see!!!

Does anybody ever notice that 630 was the only original Southern locomotive in the Southern's steam program to keep the "freight hog" scheme? It gives an engine a brutish look, and as for the 2101 or #1, it looks like it got junked, then got steamed up in that bare metal, lol.
