Reading and Northern`s final Fall Foliage trip with former Reading T-1 2102 from North Reading to Jim Thorpe. First stop was the upper end of North Reading yard at Tuckerton, Pa. We saw 2102 getting a roll on the train coming through the yard. Then after deciding to avoid the crowd it was off to East Mahanoy Jct. to see 2102 working on the grade above Tamaqua. 2102 made short work of it with the 16 car train. It was halftime for us already. After a mini-pause at the Beacon Diner in Hometown it was off to Jim Thorpe to see the train turn on the wye. enjoy, twl You must be a registered subscriber to watch videos. Join Today!

I was trying to figure out what kind of 4 wheel trucks were under some of the coaches. Almost look like freight trucks, but couldn't get a good enough look at them as they went by.

They all certainly had longer wheel bases than standard freight trucks, so no freight trucks under these coaches.
