The Caboose is a place for Reading Modeler members to hang out and discuss topics of general interest, not necessarily rail-related. Come on in, the coffee's hot and the conversation is stimulating!
TOPIC: Former Reading unit aids in cleanup at Connecticut
Former Reading unit aids in cleanup at Connecticut 10 years 11 months ago #1400

Former Reading GP35 no. 3641 was at the scene of the commuter train crash in Connecticut today to aide in the movement of cars. The unit can be seen in the report that aired on NBC nightly news this evening (at approx. 44 second and again at 1 minute into the video). The locomotive is now part of Metro North Commuter Railway as GP35R no. 101, but those distinctive rain gutters show her Reading heritage. It’s a shame that this spotting wasn’t under much better circumstances.
