An impressive sight of the Reading & Northern T-1 2102 hauling a train of 50 empty hoppers up over the mountain on the Mainline from North Reading to Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania on April 26, 2022 as a load test for the upcoming Iron Horse Rambles.

Our day started in North Reading Yard where the train is being prepped by end cab switchers for the 4-8-4 to take North up to Haucks, where they divert from former Reading trackage to the CNJ Nesquehoning Branch. They then run around the wye at Jim Thorpe Junction into the gorge, shoving back across the Lehigh River through Nesquehoning Junction into town. After laying over in Jim Thorpe for couple of hours, they depart heading back up the grade on the Nesquehoning Branch. Once the hoppers reach Middle Yard in Tamaqua, they cut away from the train and take the 2102 north back to Haucks to turn the locomotive around on the wye.
