What's the difference between a GP40-2 and GP39-2? What year did the Reading dieselize? How many tracks were in Rutherford Yard? This board focuses on a discussion of questions or issues concerning the "prototype" Reading Company and its predecessors. While the aim of this board is to serve as a resource for prototype information for modeling purposes, general discussion and sharing of knowledge is also encouraged.

Here are a few pics for reference. The ash pit gives a good proportion with the men working there to scale from. I have to look around I may have a few more photos.

Here are some more Gordon pics that are in Reading Railroad Steam in Action II. My book managed to get wrecked by water so they aren't the greatest photos. Of note the ash pit. It seems water is a new medium introduced to make the ash into a slurry, pouring into the hopper like concrete. Also if I remember correctly there were a few BAb baggage cars for storage scattered on site.
