— Greg Brown snapped this image of Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis no. 576 perched upon her Nashville display on an unknown date, likely in the late 1980s or early 1990s.

Much has since changed in Centennial Park; a new display shelter, sweeping redevelopments... and the locomotive is gone! That's thanks to Nashville Steam, who since 2016 have entered a lease agreement with the City of Nashville, returned the engine to live rail, and have nearly completed a historic restoration that will soon have it operating out of the Music City.

Your next free opportunity to visit the Stripe is fast approaching with the Fall Open House on Saturday, November 4. Check the tagged Facebook event for hours, location and other info and consider dropping by!

A little bit of the American Freedom Train is coming back….

Read the full release below!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Reading T-1 No. 2100 to Debut as the American Freedom Train 250

Cleveland, OH — The restoration of Reading T-1 4-8-4 no. 2100 by the American Steam Railroad Preservation Association (ASR), a 501c3 non-profit, will debut in a near identical American Freedom Train paint and detail scheme that was applied to T-1 no. 2101 in 1976 as it toured the Northeast as AFT 1.

“Our initial plan was to debut the 2100 in the original black Reading freight scheme, and then apply the AFT scheme as we drew closer to 2026. However, with ASR working towards the goal of having the restoration completed by the end of 2024 and break in running occurring in the spring of 2025, it didn’t make sense to have the Reading scheme paint job applied for only one year, and then to completely redo it for America’s 250th Celebration in 2026”, says Rob Gardner, President of ASR. “The 200th bicentennial American Freedom Train began its tour on April 1st, 1975, so for ASR to debut the 2100 in the American Freedom Train scheme in 2025 is also repeating the AFT 1’s preceding year debut."

Mr. Gardner continues, “The main change ASR will be making is on the front number plate and the flying number boards, which will now carry the number 250 as opposed to number 1. The original steam powered AFT had three steam locomotives used in 1975-1976 each with their own number, and we thought it fitting, especially given the announcement from the B&O Railroad Museum that AFT 1 will be receiving a full cosmetic restoration, that AFT 1 remain with ex-Reading T-1 no. 2101, with the 2100 carrying on the T-1 AFT legacy as AFT 250 for 2025-2026 and possibly beyond. We are all very pleased that AFT 1 will emerge as a magnificent display for those that visit the B&O museum in Baltimore, with AFT 250 being the traveling American Freedom Train locomotive to take the AFT steam locomotive experience to the people, which was another reason we made the decision to convert to burning recycled oil.”

Mr. Ross Rowland states, “As the Founder and CEO of the American Freedom Train Foundation I am very pleased that the American Steam Railroad Preservation Association has decided to have this magnificent steam locomotive carry the American Freedom Train paint scheme when she soon returns to service. This will allow thousands to enjoy seeing her in the paint scheme carried throughout the nation in 1975-76 by her sister locomotive AFT 1 as it pulled the Freedom Train throughout the Northeastern USA. Thank you American Steam Railroad, and here's wishing you many miles of trouble free steaming!”

Steve Wickersham, retired CMO on 2101 states, “I think it is a fitting tribute to both AFT 1 and the United States to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the US and the 50th anniversary of the Bicentennial American Freedom Train. 2100 and 2101 were saved from the scrapper by Ed Striegel and oblivion by Ross Rowland for use on the Bicentennial train. 2100 had a contributing role in ‘backing up’ sister 2101 with vital parts for both the AFT and the Chessie Steam Special. Critical parts from 2101 were then donated to 2100 for her restoration in the 1980s. It can be said that a bit of 2101 can live on the nation’s sestercentennial with 2100. Numbering 2100 ‘250’ for this commemoration is appropriate in preserving AFT 1 for her unique and special role, while 2100 carries the tradition forward of Reading T-1 locomotives and their historic role in preserving and celebrating American history.”

“The key to this is raising the final funds needed to complete the 2100 / AFT 250’s restoration”, states Forrest Nace, Treasurer of ASR. “As many like to say in railway preservation, these projects move at the speed of money. While we have achieved
many significant milestones in 2023, $170,000 is still needed so we can continue non-stop throughout 2024. We have our professional contractors and parts suppliers all waiting for us to say we have the funds on hand so they can begin the work and ship the items needed, with our volunteers continuing to perform tasks such as cleaning the tender’s cistern and reinstalling the oil bunker to stay on schedule.”

Tax-deductible donations towards the restoration of the Reading T-1 no. 2100 / AFT 250 can be mailed to American Steam Railroad Preservation Association, 2800 W. 3rd St, Cleveland, OH 44113, or made online at www.americansteamrailroad.org.

— After four months spent dashing the American Freedom Train across the eastern United States, former Reading no. 2101, now simply no. 1, is seen in August 1975 taking rest in La Grange, Ill., with the rest of the train handed over to Southern Pacific no. 4449. It spent the next four months stored at the EMD plant here, and in January of 1976 was sent to the Southern Railway's Irondale Shop near Birmingham, Ala., home to the famous steam program. The engine intercepted the Freedom Train again in May of 1976.

No. 2101 is making railfan news again as the B&O Railroad Museum, the locomotive's contemporary caretakers, have announced that her display career will begin anew as they undertake a cosmetic restoration. It piqued the interest of many during a short but highly-publicized move to restoration last Saturday, and now it awaits work in the museum's restoration building.

to this particularly momentous week five years ago in Pennsy Productions history — our first chase of a steam locomotive.

The venue was the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad, where the Fort Wayne Railroad returned for the 2018 season of Steam in the Valley with their no. 765. That year’s excursions were noteworthy for featuring resplendent new paint on the locomotive, a special guest whistle from sister engine no. 760, and the first appearance of the CVSR’s fleet of deluxe California Zephyr cars. The event, with its convenient proximity to us, naturally became Pennsy Productions tradition.

Here we watch the locomotive glide through Jaite on Saturday, September 29.

07/09/2023

to this day five years ago in Pennsy Productions history, the first in what would become a long series of visits to Reading Company no. 2100 and the American Steam Railroad. This first introduction to the project came at a Midwest Railway open house, which also offered tours of the B&O roundhouse complex, Grand Trunk no. 4070 and other historic equipment.

In the five subsequent years, members of the Pennsy Productions team have spent hundreds of hours on the locomotive's volunteer restoration crew, and just as we've done in that time, the 2100 has come a substantial way. The finish line is closer now than ever, but more still remains to be done, and we hope you'll consider joining us as supporters with a contribution to ASR at the link: https://www.americansteamrailroad.org/

Will we see you at the EBT on November 11?

31/08/2023

to this day five years ago in Pennsy Productions history, an out-and-back trip to the Dennison Railroad Depot Museum with Chesapeake & Ohio locomotive no. 2700.

In the first image is the locomotive as we saw her on this day in 2018, still in pristine cosmetic condition thanks to a $140,000 rehabilitation by Gemini Industrial Machine. The second was made nearly five years later, on June 30 of this year.

Prior to this, the leader of the C&O's 90 Kanawha-types was preserved at various sites around Charleston, W.Va., before a Canton, Ohio-based non-profit acquired it in 1986 with hopes to restore and operate it. The group disbanded mid-rebuild, however, and had it not been for the intervention of Ohio Central Railroad owner Jerry Joe Jacobson, the locomotive would have been destined for scrapping. It has called Dennison, Ohio, home since 1997, but after the failed rebuild, gained infamy in the railfan world for her gaunt appearance. The 2017 cosmetic restoration included 320 new parts manufactured by Gemini.

— From the footage collection of Alex Bruchac comes this RARE shot of Canadian Pacific no. 1278 and Reading no. 2102 doubleheading between Albany, N.Y., and Montreal, Canada, in 1973. Both sport Delaware & Hudson markings and cosmetics as part of that railroad's 150th anniversary specials.

17/08/2023

— On to the next stop for Reading no. 2100: Wheeling & Lake Erie’s Brewster, Ohio, shops! It was here that Greg Brown caught back up with the wayward engine on Friday, February 28, 1992, and made this photo that later graced the pages of Railpace Newsmagazine.

Once ​⁠Lionel Trains owner Richard Kughn's 2100 Corporation ceased after a series of 1989 test runs, it was off to the Portage Area Regional Transportation Authority for the 2100, who hoped to operate it under their ownership. Unpaid storage fees later led to a move from Brewster to the Morgan Run steam shops of the Ohio Central Railroad, where storage continued for the engine.

The 2100 was put on the auction block in 1998. A bid placed by Tom Payne, an Alberta, Canada-based shortline railroader, turned out to be the highest, and following more steam testing on the Ohio Central that May, she was off to St. Thomas, Ontario, home of the ​⁠Elgin County Railway Museum.

She was then sent to Washington state after proposed operations in the Canadian Rockies fell through, but after two brief seasons of operation in the Tacoma region, she once again entered storage on a siding Richland, Wash., in 2008. There she sat for several more years with bleak prospects for the future.

That was until 2015, when the ​⁠American Steam Railroad repatriated the locomotive to the Eastern U.S. to start her restoration anew. Greg Brown crossed paths with the 2100 once again when she arrived in Cleveland, Ohio, and this time chose to stay with the locomotive as a volunteer. He remains a regular crew member today — and when the locomotive exits restoration, it will be the first time Greg will have ever seen her under steam!

10/08/2023

— This week's installment in the Greg Brown Slide Collection brings us to a Wi******er & Western siding in Bedington, W.Va., where a resplendent Reading Company no. 2100 rests on Friday, April 28, 1989. Fresh from a million-dollar overhaul and several successful tests on the Wi******er & Western, she anticipates her next assignment... one which ultimately never came as planned.

After many years of ownership by Ross Rowland, during which she became a parts reservoir for no. 2101's excursions, an agreement was established whereby then-Lionel Trains owner Richard Kughn, through the 2100 Corporation, would acquire the locomotive and restore her for excursions on a host railroad. While the rebuild itself met great success, arrangements with the host railroad ultimately failed to materialize. Thus the 2100 Corporation folded and Kughn parted ways with the fully serviceable locomotive in the early 1990s.

Her next stop was Ohio... stay tuned for more next Thursday!

— Under lovely blue skies, the Blue Mountain & Reading's 1987 Railfan Weekend saw a bustle of activity with two steam locomotives, several historic diesels and a plethora of visitors. One of those visitors was Greg Brown, who made this image of former Reading Company T-1 no. 2102 thundering beneath the ex-Pennsylvania Railroad position light signal at Glen Junction.

to this day five years ago, Pennsy Productions’ first ever road trip! This one brought us to the shops of the Fort Wayne Railroad, maintenance home of Nickel Plate steam locomotive no. 765.

While the photographic results in hindsight are far from stellar, the trip nonetheless marked a major turning point in the creation of the brand you know today. Where to next?

06/07/2023

— Voila, no. 5308 shines like new again! We're revisiting the classic C630 locomotive and the Reading Railroad Heritage Museum one last time, now at the June, 1987, roll-out from a complete cosmetic and mechanical restoration in the Reading Company locomotive shops.

Starting in 1988, the unit began a lucrative career in retirement hauling excursion trains on the ex-Pennsylvania Railroad line of the Blue Mountain & Reading, often operating in tandem with GP30 no. 5513. The Reading Company Technical & Historical Society continues to lovingly maintain her as a display piece, one of only two American-built C630 locomotives left.

Take a look at the photo captions to dive deeper into her first year in service as captured by Greg Brown!

— Picking up last Thursday's story, we've jumped ahead ten years to October of 1986, a homecoming month for Conrail C630 no. 6761. She had been bought by the Reading Railroad Heritage Museum and in this image is posed outside of her home railroad's original Reading, Pa., locomotive shops.

Built as Reading Company no. 5308, she was part of the Reading's second order of C630 locomotives, the counterpart to the first order showcased last week, arriving on Reading Company property in October of 1967. A number of subtle differences existed between the two orders, and those visible here include ALCO's Hi-Adhesion truck design replacing the troublesome Tri-Mount trucks on the first class, and the addition of a snowplow on the pilot. Also unlike no. 5301 shown last Thursday, no. 5308 did receive a full "can-opener" paint job under Conrail, although her engineer's side cab door came from no. 5309 and still shows its Reading roots.

Within the month, she'd become the newest resident of the Reading Shops, where volunteers would labor to restore an appearance she hadn't had since the moment of her first tests at the American Locomotive Company. Next Thursday, we'll revisit no. 5308 to see the fruits of their labor!

— By August 3, 1976, Conrail was four months into its ownership of the former New York Central yard in Springfield, Mass. (pictured), but former Reading Company no. 5301 wasn't so willing to let go of her green and gold roots. The second of seven C630-class locomotives in the railroad's first order, she arrived from the American Locomotive Company's Schenectady, N.Y., plant in June of 1966. Arriving with those seven units were two smaller C430 locomotives, and later joining them was a second order of five C630s.

These were units of many superlatives for the Reading's diesel fleet. They were the longest and tallest diesels the Reading ever rostered; they were the first six-axle units to be purchased by the railroad since the Fairbanks-Morse TrainMasters 13 years prior; and at 3,000 horsepower, they tied several classes of diesels for the Reading’s highest horsepower rating, only to be beat the following year by an order of SD45s. It was more than appropriate that the first in the class, no. 5300, was christened as "Rocket II" in July, with commemorative nameplates adorning the sides of its cab.

Originally assigned to ore service on the Bethlehem Branch, the railroad found them well-suited for the mainline, and that's where they often could be found over the coming years. Aside from a period of dormancy in 1975, the units kept hauling for the Reading all the way through its downfall and into the Conrail years.

No. 5301 received Conrail patches with her new number, 6754, likely within a few weeks of this photo, but never a full blue paint job. By the end of the decade, she was already in storage and at the mercy of the weather and the scrapper. The entire first order of seven C630s were victims of the torch, but one unit from the second order managed to survive... stay tuned next Thursday to learn more about it!

How the time flies... in the blink of an eye (or perhaps the stroke of a piston), six days on two of the finest preservation railroads to exist are behind us. The last three days were spent cruising up and down the mountains of the Durango & Silverton, while the three before that were spent immersed in the varied scenery found along the Cumbres & Toltec.

This day five years ago began an odyssey. My keyboard clickety-clacking to the beat of my eager fingers, a script grew into being for the first time. The thought of flipping that script into a full-fledged video seemed absurd then, but the sheer buzz from writing ignited deep within me a craving for something more. That script was indeed flipped into a full-fledged video, “Top 10 Retired Steam Excursion Stars”, and fueled by adrenaline, the same craving returned with great fervor, driving me to share that video with the world. Then with the reward of approval from its tens of thousands of viewers, the craving returned again, and again, and again… and it remains strong today, empowering us to continually push on boundaries and realize giant ideas.

Five years on, the resulting brand, now known as Pennsy Productions, has blazed a trail of remarkable content and experience that once only existed in my most wild and fantastical dreams — and you, the viewers, subscribers and fans, have blazed that trail. If not for your viewership, the craving would have tapered off long ago, starving our brand of many of the key elements to its success.

Our brand would have lacked the vision to see the potential in exploring the seemingly niche storylines it has — how to save a railcar from scrap in your backyard; what it takes to breathe new life into a steam locomotive; how a new preservation initiative can enjoy success in an ever-changing world. Our brand would have lacked the confidence to present itself with such unwavering professionalism in its video content, graphic design, and public and private relations, and receive high praise and recognition for doing so. Our brand would have lacked the credibility to pursue and earn lasting relationships with such esteemed organizations as the Fort Wayne Railroad, Trains Magazine, American Steam Railroad, Dynamo Productions, and many, many others.

If not for your viewership, the stories and media you’ve come to so dearly enjoy would never have existed. Boiling it down, it is just that simple.

Thank you. Here’s to the next five years and beyond.

Most sincerely,
Nick Martin / Owner and Founder, Pennsy Productions

It's that day again — 4/25 day!

The ambient light of Reading cast a cool glow on the Reading and Northern Railroad - Passenger's Outer Station, where three standout units on the fleet stood together: 4-6-2 Pacific no. 425, queen of the passenger department, and SD50s nos. 5018 and 5019, workhorses of the North Reading Fast Freight. This was the scene just after the conclusion of a busy fall foliage season, and the next stop for no. 425 was to be the Port Clinton steam shops where she'd sleep off the winter.
