READING #2100 T1 BTO

 

When the ever-innovative anthracite hauler was told they couldn't build a new locomotive during the War, the Reading did the next best thing. They " rebuilt" them. The T1 4-8-4s which came from this rebuild program bore little resemblance to the Consolidations from which they came. In fact only a few minor appliances were kept in the conversion, but at least as far as the War Production Board was concerned the locomotives were "rebuilt." After the need for steam in freight service ended, four of the locomotives were retained for the Reading Rambles passenger excursions. These events kept the sights and sound o f steam alive for the next generation. FEATURES:
