All,

Thanks to the support of many of you here, ASR reached a huge milestone in the work on the Reading 2100. See it here in our April 2022 video update!

Very exciting! It’ll be very nice to see this one back in service. We’ve got three Northerns about to join the seven that are running now. Awesome work on the 2100!

This restoration pleases me to no end. So glad to see 2100 back and ready to strut her stuff.

Great news !!! I can see it now..........a full tonnage coal train coming out of the mines pulled by the 2100 & 2102 heading for the interchange with NS in Reading assisted over the ruling grade portion of the trip by the 425 on the head end as a triple headed helper.

3 open window coaches on the rear ahead of the caboose carrying the lucky patrons who snapped up the 120 available tickets when they became available online at $ 400 and sold out in 14 minutes.

Sure will be a heck of a steam show !!!

Onward & upward. Ross Rowland

Ross, that's a pretty detailed message. Maybe you should have said 119 seats left available?

LOL

Ross's posting style has become very... optimistic as of late.

Congrats to the ASR guys. Great project.

Let me offer my CONGRATULATIONS as well. Compared to all the bad news of late, this is like a sunbeam and a lightning bolt meeting under a rainbow. Give it Hell, fellas.

VIVA ASR #2100 !!!
