Taking a Ride on the REAL Reading

Reading Co dining car menus

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.

Does anyone have a dining car menu that they can post a picture of the inside of...
reason I'm asking... and maybe some knows without posting a picture...

Did the reading have a "signature" dessert on their trains?

Am hosting an ops session tomorrow night and had this crazy thought that I could provide something special, if it's not too exclusive. If it was some sort of apple pie, then I can buy any apple pie and lay claim to it being a Rdg speciality! If it is some sort of specially made pastry... it may have to wait for the next session.
Awaiting all of your immense knowledge....!

Thanks,
Barry

Turboboost910 OFFLINE Conductor Posts: 250 Thank you received: 17	Funny you should mention this, I picked one up that was "included" in a few trinkets from an ebay auction. I was originally buying a book of matches, a folded-type diner car paper cup and some various paperwork. The menu was tossed in, as a pleasant surprise. However, all of that stuff is neatly packed away...
