Reading 2100 in W. Virginia......(1989)
Author: Greg2102

Way back on 4/28/1989 the 2100 was stored on the Winchester & Western RR at Bedington, West Virginia.  Made the treck out there and got some slides of her sitting there.

What is the purpose of the small dome in front of the sand dome?

Looks like a sheet metal cover over the top mounted check valve.

She really looks good back then.  A shame what happens in the wrong hands.  I hope the group acquiring it can put it back to this condition.  It's going to take a lot of work, but she would be worth it.  I know I'll try to donate to it.  First thing I hope they do is scrap all the non stock side skirting.  She'd look best in basic black.

I have some from Morgan Run around 2004 or so. They'll be scans of old pictures and not up to today's standard. One of them had 1293 in steam on another track behind/beside her, and if you don't know better she looks to be in steam herself.

I hope the Fire Up crew is able to bring her back.

Anyone notice the incorrect headlight visor on the headlight? Reading engines didn't have them.
