Hustling at Hecla
It's a brisk autumn morning, a slight breeze, the smell of fresh rain in the air, the trees turning color, and the rumble of a mighty Reading T-1 Hog. It's October 14th, 2023, and the Reading and Northern railroad is running fall foliage trains to and from Reading Outer Station with Reading and Northern 2102. The brisk and thin air makes the Reading 6 chime louder, beefier, and more ominous, you hear the chuffing get closer, the noise of the drivers pounding away, and then the T-1 rolls into the frame putting on a show of smoke as the steam crew fights the tough grade.
