Description
Reading 2124 is a class T-1 4-8-4 Northern-type steam locomotive that was built by the Reading Company in January, 1947 using parts from I-10sa Class 2-8-0 Consolidation number 2044.
The locomotive that became 2124 was originally built as Reading Company class I-10sa 2-8-0 number 2044 in 1924
Starting in 1945, Reading began building a new class of 4-8-4 Northern-type locomotives using the boilers and fireboxes from the I-10sa's, designating these new locomotive the T-1 class. 2044 underwent this rebuild in late 1946 and emerged in January 1947 as the number 2124.
NOTE: A large hard-working steam locomotive can use up to 6 tons of coal in about an hour.
The fireman (the one who shovels the coal) might shovel 200 pounds of coal a minute! This is why railroads helped design mechanical stokers.
