That was a once in a lifetime event and the 2101 actually was near me in early 1977 prior to the start of the special because it was at the former Reading roundhouse in Hellertown, PA back when the Beth Branch was intact north of Quakertown and there was regular commuter service with RDC’s and FP7 push pull. The commuter service was extended to Allentown June 1978-Aug 1979. Too bad the 2101 was damaged in a fire in a roundhouse in Kentucky in 1979 after the Special ended. It’s now at the B&O museum in Baltimore in AFT paint. You could never have a system wide steam tour like that today on CSX. Especially public excursions.
