Reading T1 Northern 2100, on display at the Elgin County Railway Museum outside their former NYC/PC/CR shops in St. Thomas ON. 2100 was built by the Reading shops in 1945, and at the end of steam served on the Reading's Iron Horse Rambles excursions from 1959-1964. 2100 and sister 2101 were sold for scrap, but saved (2100 was used as a parts source for 2101 that operated in excursion service). 2100 was eventually sold and overhauled with plans for excursion service in the states that never materialized.

After changing hands a number of times 2100 was sold to Tom Payne in 1998, and moved here to St. Thomas with hopes to run some fantrips (that also never materialized). In October 2005, she was transported back south of the border to Washington State and did run some excursions. Earlier this year (2015), 2100 was moved east to Decatur Illinois, its future plans not known.
