Hi All
My friend & I rode the Fall Special behind the Reading 2102, on October 29th from Reading to Jim Thorpe, Pa. Once the trip was over the entire train consist is now facing the wrong way for the following morning trip.

So my question is this, where is the train consist ( Wyed) in Reading???
At what junction or branch, on the railroad. Thank you, Pat.

The train is towed in reverse to Haucks, turned on the wye, then towed back to Reading.

is that also where the 2102 is turned?

I'm guessing that's why they only run the 2102 one day a weekend, due to turning it etc.
