RBMN 2102 Test run, 100 car hopper jet 5/20/22

I headed up to the RBMN on Friday may 20th to see a sight that is what modern day railroading is all about... a steam revenue freight train. 2102's assignment for the day was to take 99 empty coal cars from just south of Port Clinton to Tamaqua and return to Port Clinton with 50 outbound loads. 2102 with CEO Andy muller Jr behind the throttle, the pair would put on a tremendous show for the few railfans who were lucky enough to catch the northbound move with 99 car in tow weighing in at about 2200 tons. The return trip with 50 loaded hoppers would weigh in at about 5000 tons. 2102 put on a great show, so be sure to sit back and enjoy the sound of 2102 at work on its first revenue freight train. Thanks for watching and i hope you enjoy!
