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.

It's a bit grainy, but here's a shot of one of the Belt Ry of Chicago's ex-RDG cabooses, at Clearing Yard (Chicago) in 1982 on a trip I took that way. Sleety and terrible weather, but it was on a Sunday and I had the yard to myself. Nobody around to ask or kick me out!...used in MW service by the looks of it. Wonder if that's the original Rdg caboose red -might be looking at how faded the BRC lettering is!

Another eBay grab, this time it’s U30C 6300 new and in transit. Interesting how the green/yellow separation is handled around the area below the brake wheel. I never noticed that before in other shots. I wonder what that paper is stuck behind the windshield wiper. Also, note the exhaust is capped or covered with something.

Yep, another slide found on eBay! Anyone know approximately when and where this photo was taken and why a PC SD45 would be coupled to a T1?
My guess is that the setting is probably somewhere close to horseshoe curve and the PC unit is a helper “required” for the light move because it is upgrade. Maybe an iron horse ramble in the late 60s?  Mark |
