Eastern Railroad Discussion > 2102 in may

when are the 2102 excursions in may? a friend told me that 2102 will run excursions later in may including around the memorial day holiday.

Do you think the 2102 will ever end up at temple train station? I would love to have the 2102 appear while watching norfolk southern on the reading line.

how can i time arrival and departure at north reading station? I plan just to tape the 2102 there without subjecting my driver friends to crazy chasing

thanks

I would put the chances of the 2102 getting over to Temple somewhere between slim and none with none well out in the lead.

That being said, just check out the RBMN passenger web site.

Just go to the R&N to see it. If I ever have a spare day, I plan to.

Its definitely NOT happening on NS anytime soon.....

Gonut1 says i need to pry myself away from Norfolk Southern and film the 2102 in a unique moment. I certainly can do that because i already filmed the N&W 611 on the strasburg railroad back in 2019. I think i need to feel super lucky about this occaision and get the filming of 2102 nailed down, this sounds far more like a HISTORICAL narrative than just any old black horsehead runby or even any heritage units

i learned that i am facing complications of seeing 2102:

-the schedule isn’t favorable for me seeing the 2102 on it’s ramble, the ramble departs at 9am and it’s pretty hard to get to reading pa before that time. 6:30pm is pretty late.

-jim thorpe is really far out there for me (2 hours 49 minutes), it’s a TON of driving and nearly six hours a day is very super exhausting for me and those in accommodating me.

i was wondering how to catch this steam train without all the inconveniences i mentioned above

Simple: internet. 2102 will be just a few mouse-clicks away. This is by far the least energy-intensive, time-intensive way to proceed. That also means you have to wait a few days for others to have uploaded.
