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.

Thought I'd share this with everyone. I commissioned this painting quite some years ago. The artist: Fred Schuster. It's a nice rendition of a pair of pushers leaning into a Richmond bound coal drag. Pretty sure the painting is based on a Bert Pennypacker photo.
