A T1 for a T-1? On April 3-4, American Steam Railroad fired up Ex Reading T-1 4-8-4 in Cleveland, OH for the first time in nearly 20 years. After $1.6 million dollar rebuild, steam was made. Several of the PRR T1 Trust members were part of the restoration crew and were present for steam tests. The 2100 has her Reading 6 Chime Whistle, but also carried the whistle for the new PRR T1, #5550. You can hear the PRR whistle below.
