The Reading Railroad kept four of the T-1's for an excursion service that they called the Iron Horse Rambles. The plans were for 2100 and 2124 to pull the excursion trains, and they would keep 2101 as a back-up and 2123 as a source of parts. The four T-1's used in the Iron Horse Rambles still survive today. 2101 was famously restored and used to pull the American Freedom Train in the mid-1970's. It was then repainted into the Chessie System livery in 1977 to pull the Chessie Steam Special, an excursion train running to celebrate the 150th birthday of the B&O Railroad.

2102 ran various fan trips for several decades, and is currently owned by the Reading Blue Mountain & Northern Railroad. 2124 is currently on display at Steamtown USA in Scranton, PA. ALL-NEW Paragon4 Sound & Control System featuring Rolling Thunder.
