CP 4-6-0 #972 - Canadian Pacific
Title:  CP 4-6-0 #972 - Canadian Pacific
Description:  Here's another survivor of the steam era. Built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in September of 1912, it was sold to George M Hart and ended working for Rail Tours Inc in January of 1966 after nearly 54 years of service to CP. Unfortunately, I believe this loco ended up on the Strasburg RR and sits in dire need of restoration. Specs - serial #51106, class D10J, 63" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 21x28" cylinders, engine weight of 177,000 lb, tractive effort of 33,320 lb. . Paul Kuehner caught the loco while it was in Jim Thorpe, PA.

RBMN 4-8-4 #2102 - Reading, Blue Mountain & Northern
Title:  RBMN 4-8-4 #2102 - Reading, Blue Mountain & Northern
Description:  Fairly nice action shot of Reading, Blue Mountain& Northern 4-8-4 #2102 in action with a tourist train near Jim Thorpe, PA. This is a famous steam locomotive with a varied history. Originally built by Baldwin in March of 1925 as a lowly RDG 2-8-0 Consolidation #2044 (serial #58329, it was transformed by the Reading's own shops to a 4-8-4 Northern type steam locomotive in September of 1945. I was used for pulling heavy coal trains for the RDG until being retired from revenue service in 1956. Between 1962 and 1964, No. 2102 was used to haul the Iron Horse Rambles excursion trains. After the Rambles ended in 1964, No. 2102 was sold to Steam Tours of Akron, Ohio, and it spent the next several years pulling various fan trips in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest. In 1985, it was sold again to Andy Muller to operate on his Reading Blue Mountain and Northern Railroad (RBMN) alongside 4-6-2 No. 425, until its flue time expired, on October 27, 1991. In February 2016, the locomotive began to be restored back to operating condition, and then it returned to service, in April 2022, pulling RBMN's excursions between Reading and Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. Since the summer of 2024, No. 2102 pulled excursions through the Lehigh River Gorge from Nesquehoning to Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania in June and Pittston, Pennsylvania in August. An unidentified rail fan took this color slide.
