Steam Whistles are one of the best sounds in the world. On a steam locomotive, they are the most iconic sounds and most beloved sounds in all of railroading. In this video, we see the whistles of Pere Marquette 1225, Nickel Plate Road 765, New Hope & Ivyland 40, Black Hills Central 110, Reading & Northern 425, Strasburg 90, and finally, Baldwin 26. Sit back relax and enjoy a compilation of, in my opinion, the best sounds in the world.

$Reading 2102: Sand Train to Tamaqua Between the 2025 and 2026 seasons, the Reading & Northern Steam Crew spent much of the off-season making new crosshead slippers for Reading 2102. After its first excursion of the for the 2026 season in February, the locomotive would not run again until Memorial Day weekend, kicking off its busiest summer since returning to service in 2022. During this three month hiatus, the new crosshead slippers were installed on the locomotive. Prior to the start of the summer excursions, the Steam Crew fired up 2102 to test the work they completed during the winter and spring maintenance period. After the 2102s fire was lit, Andy Muller, the owner and CEO of the Reading & Northern, decided to put the engine to use, and the 2102 pulled a loaded 30-car revenue freight train loaded with frac sand between Port Clinton and Tamaqua for its test run. Additionally, the consist included Caboose 94850, which just was released from the West Cressona Paint Shop adorning wearing a beautiful paint scheme celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the United States. In total, the consist weighed in at 4,310 tons. The 2102 put on a spectacular show as it pulled its heavy freight train the 20 miles between Port Clinton and Tamaqua on the Reading & Northerns Reading Line. So sit back, relax, and enjoy 21st century steam railroading at its finest as 2102 storms through the mountains of Pennsylvania pulling a revenue freight train. This video was made possible by Andy Muller, who had the vision of restoring 2102 back in 2016 to operating condition and fully funded its restoration, and the Reading & Northern Steam Crew, who spent the six years meticulously restoring the locomotive to service and four years operating and maintaining the locomotive. Without their combined efforts, events like this would not be possible. Ticket sales are the driving force behind the steam program. Consider supporting the steam program by purchasing a ticket for one of 2102s excursions this summer: https://www.rbmnrr-passenger.com/special-events This video was filmed on Friday, May 8, 2026.
