Re: (erielack) AFT 1 (OT)

Ray,

Thank you.  2102, my bad typo.  2101 is surely the one in the shot and was at the lead of all the 8 Chessie Steam Specials I rode on.  I saw it as AFT1 here in Delaware on the first day of its excursion.

While typing, I was probably thinking  2100 and/or 2102 are still around and one or both may still be operational or could be made so.

Hank

Hank,  Nice seeing a shot of the Chessie Steam Specials; thanks for sharing.  
The unfortunate roundhouse fire which the Reading 2101 was caught up in 
occurred after this series of excursions were run in 1978.  The same Northern that 
was used here in the East on the American Freedom Train (RDG #2101/AFT 1, as 
Todd stated) was the same engine used to pull the Chessie Steam Specials, not 
the #2102.  Ray Wetzel   </HTML>
