Overview:

In 1976, former Reading T1 #2101 came back to life to lead the eastern leg of the American Freedom Train. Fifty years later the historic locomotive is undergoing a cosmetic restoration to restore her to her 1970s glory. Meanwhile one of her sister locomotives is also due to return to service in a tribute scheme as Freedom Train #250! We're bringing both back to life in the Lionel catalog as well along with the return and additions to the American Freedom Train consist.
