Difficult subject. Maybe it should be "Favorite Steam Locomotive." At the top of my list are the Reading Railroad's T1 4-8-4 Northerns. These massive locomotives were among the most modern steam locomotives, and were constructed out of Baldwin 2-8-0's by the Reading Company's own locomotive shops. Having grown up in the Reading area, I have been able to see the 2102 pulling trains on the BM&R and even managed a cab ride in her. I was also on the ill-fated excursion to Jim Thorpe where the fire company filled the tender with foaming water, causing the locomotive to lose steam pressure. Anyone else on that trip? I believe it was September of 1986.
