Highball Zenners
Here is another shot from my trip out to see RBMN 2102 for my first time. Much has been written about the rebirth of this stout 4-8-4 built in the Reading Railroad's own shops in 1945 so I won't rehash a long history now.
Here she is looking good on historic ex Reading Company home rails leading 19 cars with a sold out train of 750 passengers headed back to North Reading from Jim Thorpe on the second of a series of modern day 'Reading Rambles'. They are seen here approaching the Wildcat Road crossing at about MP 94.5 on the modern day Reading and Northern Railroad's Reading Division mainline at a place known as Zenners on the railroad.
