I believe it was the 2101 which is now in Baltimore that derailed out in Illinois. I seem to remember hearing that after that derailment it never ran quite the same. Also, I did some research on the 2101. It was a Reading Railroad conversion engine. Originally a 2-8-0 built by Baldwin, but remanufactured in 1945 into a 4-8-4 by the Reading in its Reading PA locomotive shops. It was re-numbered the #1 for the Freedom train runs, and is still painted in the Freedom train paint (badly faded) and numbered #1.
